Beschreibung:

This spiral galaxy was observed as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program, a large project that includes observations from several space- and ground-based telescopes of many galaxies to help researchers study all phases of the star formation cycle, from the formation of stars within dusty gas clouds to the energy released in the process that creates the intricate structures revealed by Webb’s new images.NGC 4535 is 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo.Learn more about what can be seen in this vast collection of Webb images here.[Image description: Webb’s image of NGC 4535 shows a densely populated face-on barred spiral galaxy anchored by its central region, which has a light orange haze. The galaxy’s core is centred and connected by an almost vertical bar structure to the galaxy’s two prominent spiral arms, which appear to rotate clockwise, forming an elongated S shape in shades of orange.]
