NIRCam view of Cartwheel galaxy. Processed by @thocarp.bsky.social www.flickr.com/photos/19746... 🔭 🧪
A captivating image of the Cartwheel Galaxy, captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy resembles a wagon wheel, with a bright central hub and multiple rings of stars and dust. The inner ring is a region of intense star formation, while the outer ring is expanding outward, pushing into the surrounding gas and triggering star formation in its path. The image also reveals distant galaxies in the background, showcasing the vastness of the universe.

one of the best hubble images ever
The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.
