The galaxy itself is located in the Virgo constellation, roughly 20 million light-years from Earth. What makes this image so intriguing and peculiar, though, is that Webb’s various sensors allow astronomers to dig deeper than the surface level light and gas we’d normally see in a photo of a galaxy far, far away.
The space agency hopes to collect as many images as it can, giving astronomers plenty of data to work with and learn from. Altogether, Webb captured three different images of the star births in the Virgo constellation. The first image is a composite from the MIRI and NIRCam instruments on the telescope. Additionally, NASA shared the NIRCam and MIRI images, too, to give deeper insights into the galaxy.
