NGC 2835
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 2835 is 35 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra.

[Image description: Webb’s image of NGC 2835 shows a densely populated face-on spiral galaxy anchored by a central region that is bright blue. The spiral arms appear muddled, but it is possible to pick out individual spiral arms. The arms extend to the edges and rotate counterclockwise.]
