Scientists used #NASAWebb to observe our Extreme Outer Galaxy, a region bursting at the seams with activity. Find: ⭐ young stars 💨 jets of material 🌌 background galaxies ✨ foreground stars Learn more about the fringes of our Milky Way: bit.ly/3Xl0F2N

Astronomers used Hubble and Webb telescopes to observe this galaxy cluster, which acts like a magnifying glass because the cluster is so massive it warps the fabric of space-time. This allows us to see enhanced detail in much more distant galaxies behind the cluster. (1/6)

Supernovas like Supernova 1987A, seen at center, not only enrich their surroundings with many elements, but also trigger the formation of new stars. This image was captured by #Hubble for the supernova’s 30th anniversary: https://bit.ly/4fD6Y9l

This Hubble image of interacting galaxies, collectively known as Arp 142, provides an example of how a galaxy’s structure can be disrupted. The gravitational interactions with the lower galaxy stretch the gas and stars of the upper galaxy into long tails: https://bit.ly/460JDd4
