This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image is of the small galaxy known as UGC 5189A.
For the first time astronomers have combined data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope to study the well-known supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.
The luminous, hot star Wolf-Rayet 124 (WR 124) is prominent at the center of the James Webb Space Telescope’s composite image.
The swirls of the galaxy IC 1776 stand in splendid isolation in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
Wolf-Rayet stars are known to be efficient dust producers, and the Mid-Infrared Instrument on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows this to great effect.
Some filaments of pristine debris near the center of Cas A, seen with Webb, are connected to the iron seen with Chandra farther out.
This image comes from a very deep Chandra observation of the Tycho supernova remnant.
