NASA. DEEP SPACE. LARGE FORMAT. This near-infrared photographic panorama of a relatively near-Earth spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy's core is filled with older stars. Thanks to Webb, astronomers can peer through the galaxy's gas and dust to take a closer look at its stars. Dense, bright dust clouds lie along the path of the spiral arms. Inside these massive star clusters, energetic young stars ionize the hydrogen around them, which, combined with hot dust emission, creates that reddish glow. Young star-forming regions are a fascinating target for astronomers, and Webb's instruments are the perfect tools for examining them, resulting in this extraordinary scientific image. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Legend on label on back. 50.8 x 60.9CM with margins.
