The James Webb Space Telescope has snapped a remarkably detailed image of a nearby dwarf galaxy.
"We can see a myriad of individual stars of different colors, sizes, temperatures, ages, and stages of evolution; interesting clouds of nebular gas within the galaxy; foreground stars with Webb's diffraction spikes; and background galaxies with neat features
like tidal tails," said Kristen McQuinn, an assistant professor in the department of physics and astronomy at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey, in a comment posted on. A tidal tail is a thin "tail" of stars and interstellar gas extending off a galaxy.
