Incredible new images of the spectacular Phantom Galaxy, M74, showcase the power of space observatories working together in multiple wavelengths. In this case, data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope complement each other to provide a comprehensive view of the galaxy.
This image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the heart of M74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy. Webb’s sharp vision has revealed delicate filaments of gas and dust in the grandiose spiral arms which wind outwards from the center of this image. A lack of gas in the nuclear region also provides an unobscured view of the nuclear star cluster at the galaxy’s center. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J.
New images of the Phantom Galaxy, M74, showcase the power of space observatories working together in multiple wavelengths. This video includes the Hubble Space Telescope’s view of the galaxy, which showcases the older, redder stars towards the center, to younger and bluer stars in its spiral arms, to the most active stellar formation in the red bubbles of H II regions.
With Hubble’s venerable Advanced Camera for Surveys and Webb’s powerful Mid-InfraRed Instrument capturing a range of wavelengths, this new image has remarkable depth. The red colors mark dust threaded through the arms of the galaxy, lighter oranges being areas of hotter dust. The young stars throughout the arms and the nuclear core are picked out in blue. Heavier, older stars towards the galaxy’s center are shown in cyan and green, projecting a spooky glow from the core of the Phantom Galaxy.
