"James Webb Space Telescope Captures Stunning Images of Galactic Gardens and Nebulas"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning image of the barred spiral galaxy M83 using its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The image reveals dense star regions in the galactic center, stellar nurseries where new stars are forming, and regions rich in carbon-based compounds. This observation is part of the Feedback in Emerging extragalactic Star clusters (FEAST) program, which aims to understand the relationship between star formation and stellar feedback in galaxies. The JWST's MIRI, which observes the universe through infrared wavelengths, is a valuable tool for studying star formation.
