ALT In this visible and ultraviolet view of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, a bright yellow center glows. Spiral arms unfurl from the galactic core, dotted with bursts of bright blue star formation.
ALT In this infared view of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, dark and shadowy tangles of gas loosely follow the structure of spiral arms unfurling around a galactic core. Red stars glow throughout, along with several small pale stars.
ALT Image of galaxy IC 5332 as taken by the Webb telescope’s MIRI instrument, resembling gray cobwebs in the shape of a spiral. These “cobwebs” are patterns of gas spread throughout the galaxy. The core of the galaxy glows a dark blue. Stars, seen as tiny blue dots, are scattered throughout the image. There are also sparser, larger red dots spread out among the spiral arms. The background of the image is dark.
