The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51a (M51a) or NGC 5194, is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy with a Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] It lies in the constellation Canes Venatici , and was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. [ 9 ]
James Webb Space Telescope pics The Whirlpool Galaxy lies about 27 million light-years away and contains hundreds of billions of stars. The stars are spread out into a pinwheel shape clustered ...
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is by far the most powerful observatory ever launched into space.. Even Webb's very first images show why NASA spent 25 years and $10 billion. The Hubble Space ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has four key goals: to search for light from the first stars and galaxies that formed in the universe after the Big Bang; to study galaxy formation and evolution; to understand star formation and planet formation; to study planetary systems and the origins of life [160]
Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by about 8% - than ...
JADES-GS-z13-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-break galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) during NIRCam imaging for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) on 29 September 2022.
The James Webb Space Telescope is so powerful that it can vividly see stars in a galaxy 17 million light-years away.Astronomers pointed the most advanced space observatory ever built at the galaxy ...
Up until the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0 in 2022 by the James Webb Space Telescope, GN-z11 was the oldest and most distant known galaxy yet identified in the observable universe, [7] having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 10.957, which corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 32 billion light-years (9.8 billion parsecs).
