- NASA’s Webb Depicts Staggering Structure in 19 Nearby Spiral GalaxiesSpiral galaxy NGC 628 is 32 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces. Webb’s image of NGC 628 shows a densely populated face-on spiral galaxy anchored by its central region, which has a light blue haze that takes up about a quarter of the view. In this circular core is the brightest blue area.
- NASA's Webb Depicts Staggering Structure in 19 Nearby Spiral Galaxies ...Webb's Stunning Collection of 19 Face-On Spiral Galaxies. It’s oh-so-easy to be absolutely mesmerized by these spiral galaxies. Follow their clearly defined arms, which are brimming with stars, to their centers, where there may be old star clusters and – sometimes – active supermassive black holes.
- Messier 51 (The Whirlpool Galaxy) - NASA ScienceSpiral Galaxy. The graceful, winding arms of the majestic spiral galaxy M51 appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. They are actually long lanes of stars and gas laced with dust. Such striking arms are a hallmark of so-called grand-design spiral galaxies.
- Spiral Galaxy | COSMOS - SwinburneSpiral galaxies come in a wide range of sizes, from 5 to 100 kiloparsecs across, have masses between 10 9 and 10 12 solar masses, and luminosities ranging from 10 8 to 10 11 time that of the Sun. The majority of spiral galaxies rotate in the sense that the arms trail the direction of the spin.
