What to know

  • Webb's infrared observations reveal dust and star-forming regions in M64 that Hubble cannot detect, demonstrating complementary capabilities of the two telescopes.
  • M64's counter-rotating gas regions and evidence of a past galactic merger provide astronomers with insights into how spiral galaxies evolve.
  • NASA's APOD continues to feature composite imagery highlighting discoveries from space telescopes.

“Webb's Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) sees that dust, shown in red, as it absorbs and re-emits light from surrounding newborn stars.”

    NASA publishes composite Webb-Hubble images of M64

    NASA's APOD featured composite images of Messier 64, showing how the Webb telescope's infrared observations reveal dust structures invisible to Hubble. The images demonstrate the galaxy's counter-rotating gas regions and evidence of a merger with a smaller galaxy.

    “Sometimes where Hubble finds darkness, Webb sees light.”
