New images taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveal the details of a neighboring irregular galaxy and surrounding dust and stars in multiple views from its instruments.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'NASA says this means the galactic neighbor doesn't have many elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.
One image was taken by the Near-InfraRed Camera, or NIRCam, and another by the Mid-InfraRed Instrument, or MIRI. A third image, combines the views. NIRCam is able to peer through dust and gas, revealing countless dazzling stars, while MIRI focuses on the galactic dust. the European Space AgencyA bright blue orb to the left of the red glass is a prominent globular cluster with many stars.
