Four spiral galaxies (IMAGE)
Caption
A collage featuring four images of spiral galaxies observed by Webb. Blue colors, especially in the center of the galaxies, are near-infrared light that show the location of bright stars. Orange and yellow show ionized gas and red colors come from complex molecules and dust grains; these are longer mid-infrared wavelengths. They trace out the spiral arms of each galaxy as a network of filaments with cavities in between.
