NGC 1433

This spiral galaxy was observed as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program, a large project that includes observations from several space- and ground-based telescopes of many galaxies to help researchers study all phases of the star formation cycle, from the formation of stars within dusty gas clouds to the energy released in the process that creates the intricate structures revealed by Webb’s new images.

NGC 1433 is 46 million light-years away in the constellation Horologium.

[Image description: Webb’s image of NGC 1433 shows a face-on barred spiral galaxy anchored by its central region, which is circular and shows a bright white point at the centre with a light yellow circle around it. The galaxy has a large bar connected to filamentary spiral orange arms that appear to rotate counterclockwise.]
