Festive! Galaxy Snapped By JWST Is A Swirling 'Wreath' Full Of Baby Stars

The European Space Agency (ESA) has shared its pick for December’s James Webb Space Telescope picture of the month, and fittingly, it’s a shot of a bright, rather festive-looking spiral galaxy 220 million light-years away. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a massive infrared telescope currently on a search for clues into the history and evolution of the universe, going all the way back to its beginning. It’s an international collaboration between ESA, NASA, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and others, designed to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope — and probe deeper than it ever did.
