"With JWST, you can make incredible maps of nearby galaxies at very high resolution that provide amazingly detailed images of the interstellar medium,"The reason the JWST is able to see into parts of galaxies opaque to other telescopesbecause it sees the Universe in infrared. Shorter wavelengths of light, such as optical, scatter off small particles, and therefore tend not to penetrate thick clouds.
Previous infrared space telescopes, such as Spitzer, have hinted at the infrared treasures hiding in these clouds, but the JWST's spectacular resolution is giving us an unprecedented view inside.The PHANGS project is specifically designed for this, studying a sample of 19 nearby spiral galaxies with properties similar to those of the Milky Way, oriented in space so that we're viewing them face-on.
