NEW YORK — Officials have released a remarkable new image of the Phantom Galaxy -- about 32 million light-years away from Earth -- taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Published first by the European Space Agency, which has been collaborating with NASA on the Webb telescope, the image shows the galaxy -- located in the Pisces constellation -- in great detail.
"These spiral arms are traced by blue and bursts of pink, which are star-forming regions," NASA wrote in a social media post."A speckled cluster of young stars glow blue at the very heart of the galaxy." In the NASA post, there are also differences seen in the way the Webb telescope captured the Phantom Galaxy compared to the Hubble telescope.
