⁣A face-on spiral galaxy is split diagonally in this image: the James Webb Space Telescope observations appear at the top left, and the Hubble Space Telescope on bottom right. The differences in observations is shown a striking contrast, an inverse of darkness and light. @NASAWebb shows dust glowing in infrared light, @NASAHubble’s visible light view tells us where starlight is absorbed by dust⁣

Image description: A swipe through image of two views of spiral galaxy NGC 628 split diagonally, with Webb’s at top left and Hubble’s at bottom right. The galaxy’s core is roughly centered and the arms appear to rotate counterclockwise. The structure looks like a cross section of a nautilus shell. In Webb’s image, the arms are composed of filaments in shades of orange-red, with dark gray or black “bubbles,” and there is a blue haze near the core. In Hubble’s image, the arms are a mix of bright blue star clusters, pink star forming areas and dark brown dust lanes, and the core is a pale yellow.⁣
