The James Webb Telescope takes "amazing" pictures of two spiral galaxies

NGC 7496

 NASA's James Webb Telescope continues to surprise fans of planets and galaxies. After he unveiled unprecedented images of the universe, this time he published stunning images of two spiral galaxies.


According to Science Alert, the first galaxy is NGC 628, known as the Phantom Galaxy, and the second is NGC 7496. He added that the two spiral galaxies are relatively close to our galaxy, the Milky Way, and both are the subject of observations by scientists and researchers in space affairs.


He continued that "NGC 628" is one of the most exciting galaxies in our sky, noting that "it is known as the spiral galaxy with a large design. It is also 32 million light-years away, which makes it close enough to subject it to further studies."


NGC 7496 is located only 24 million light-years away, and is known as the "Spiral Galaxy with Extended Spiral Bars and Arms". Science Alert stated that this galaxy "can be seen clearly, and therefore serves as an excellent laboratory for studying how stars are born."
