James Webb Space Telescope: Breathtaking 'Face-On' Views Of 19 Spiral Galaxies
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured 19 spiral galaxies "face-on" in near- and mid-infrared. The images "show stars, gas, and dust on the smallest scales ever observed beyond our own galaxy," according to NASA/ESA.
NASA's James Webb Telescope Reveals Universe Expanding Faster Than Thought
The rate of expansion of the universe today is a figure known as the Hubble constant, which is typically measured in units of kilometers per second per megaparsec (km/s/Mpc), where a megaparsec (Mpc) is about 3.26 million light-years.
James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers ‘Firefly Sparkle’
Mowla, who spotted the galaxy in Webb’s image, was drawn to its gleaming star clusters, because objects that sparkle typically indicate they are extremely clumpy and complicated. Since the galaxy looks like a ‘sparkle’ or swarm of fireflies on a warm summer night, they named it the Firefly Sparkle galaxy.
