A new James Webb image gives us a detailed look at Messier 74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy, which is 32 million light-years away.
The James Webb space telescope has captured a new image of the Phantom Galaxy in detail as you’ve never seen before. The Phantom Galaxy, also known as Messier 74, is a spiral-armed galaxy located around 32 million light-years from Earth. Images of the galaxy have appeared in the past, but the latest capture by James Webb is the most detailed look at this beautiful galaxy we have ever been given.
This isn’t the first time we’ve looked at Messier 74, either. Previously, the Hubble space telescope captured an image of the galaxy.
