A mid-IR image of the centre of the galaxy was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
There is a PHANGS-JWST collaboration.
An image of the centre of a spiral galaxy taken by a space telescope could reveal important clues about how dust behaves in the universe.
Three sets of data were taken by the mid-infrared instrument team. The data was downloaded and translated to red, green and blue before being combined into a single picture.
If you look above the galactic plane, you'll see the same image as our own Milky Way. A hidden structure is revealed by the ability of JWST to observe IR light. The night sky would look a lot more like this picture if our eyes were able to see in the mid-Infrared wavelength.
According to Michael Merrifield at the University ofNottingham, the purple appearance of the image is due to the unique chemical composition of the dust cloud.
There was a lot of red, green and blue light, but there was only a small amount of green. The emissions made a purple colour.
Astronomers haven't had a chance to look at the findings yet. Some scientists have noticed that the empty centre in the image is different from what they see in the images of the galaxy.
The data could tell us about how dust is distributed in the universe. The problem with the information is that it is too large and high-resolution to make conclusions about how the whole universe formed and evolved. The weather is more important than the climate in this day and age.
The process of making the image was simple and less talked about than Hubble. He says that they have made similar improvements in the technology for processing the data and distributing the data to anyone who wants to look at it.
