It’s the buddy flick space fans have been waiting for. The new-kid-on-the-block James Webb Space Telescope and the venerable workhorse Hubble Space Telescope team up to seek out the heart of the Phantom Galaxy. Hijinks ensue.
The European Space Agency shared a combined telescope view of the Phantom Galaxy in an image released on Monday. Found 32 million light-years away in the Pisces constellation, the galaxy (also known as Messier 74 or M74) is a cover model among spiral galaxies. It’s known for its well-defined curving arms, which star in an image that brings together Webb’s infrared vision and Hubble’s ultraviolet and visible wavelengths.
ESA showed what the JWST and Hubble images look like separately and what can be learned by mixing the two.
