Snippet from the RSS feed
In new images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to celebrate its fourth science anniversary, a familiar galaxy transforms into something far richer and far more complex than ever seen before. Webb's unprecedented sensitivity across near- and mid-infrared wavelengths cuts through the thick lanes of dust that obscure Centaurus A's center in visible light, showing a densely packed tapestry of individual stars and an active, ever-changing galaxy. These images mark four years of better-than-anticipated performance and successful science operations for the most powerful space telescope in history.
