Summary[edit]

Description
English: Any way you slice it, the Cartwheel Galaxy is magnificent to behold. The top half of this image shows the galaxy as seen by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in visible light, while the lower half of this image shows the James Webb Space Telescope's infrared view. Hubble and Webb will continue to work together to provide complementary views of the universe.

Good news: more images from Webb are on their way! But first, scientists will need time to analyze data and make sure they understand what they’re seeing. Science is a collaborative process, and you may have seen some preliminary findings from Webb data already. Before NASA can publicize news results, we have to wait for findings to be peer-reviewed — meaning that scientists have checked each other’s work.

Where can you find Webb images? What’s Webb looking at right now? Our latest blog post has it all: go.nasa.gov/3d0aGOq

Image description:

A labeled image, divided horizontally, that shows a Hubble view and Webb view of the same target. Together, the split views show a large galaxy on the right and two much smaller spiral galaxies on the left, one above the other. The top half of the image is labeled as Hubble’s view, and features the upper half of the large galaxy and one of the small galaxies. The upper half of the large galaxy looks like a bright blue ring with wispy light blue shimmers in a pattern like wheel spokes. Near the right edge of the large galaxy is a bright yellow star with four spikes. On the left, the first of the small galaxies is a similar blue as the top half of the large galaxy. The lower half of the image is labeled as Webb’s view, and features the lower half of the large galaxy and the other small galaxy. The lower half of the large galaxy looks like a pink speckled wheel, with detailed pink plumes as wheel spokes and dusty blue in between each spoke. The second of the small galaxies on the left is bluish white. While both the Hubble and Webb views feature a black background, many more distant orange-red specks, or galaxies, can be seen in the lower half of the image.
