"ESA's Webb Telescope Captures Mesmerizing Cosmic Whirlpool"

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the grand-design spiral galaxy M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy. The image showcases the galaxy's well-developed spiral arms, as well as the warm dust permeating its medium. The observation is part of a series of observations called FEAST, which aims to study stellar nurseries and understand the interplay between star formation and stellar feedback in galaxies beyond our own Milky Way. Webb's observations will provide insights into the early stages of star formation, energy reprocessing of gas and dust, and the regulation of the star formation cycle within galaxies.
