Unrivaled View of Spiral Galaxy Messier 106 | Mayall Telescope FriendsofNASA.org | CosmoView Episode 24: This celestial snapshot captures the majesty of the spiral galaxy Messier 106, also known as NGC 4258. The image is arguably the best yet captured of the entire galaxy. Obtained using the 4-meter Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a Program of the National Science Foundation's NOIRLab, this image shows not only the glowing spiral arms, wisps of gas, and dus

Messier 82 (M82) is a starburst galaxy – it is forming new stars at a rate much faster than expected for a galaxy of its size 🏭⭐ When looking at M82 in visible light, the hotbed of star formation at its centre is obscured by dusty clouds. But the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s #NIRCam allows us to see through these clouds into its brilliant heart! #WebbSeesFarther 📷 ESA - European Space Agency / James Webb Space Telescope , NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration & Cana
