But the state-of-the-art space observatory has recently imaged two grand design spiral galaxies, and one appears to be the most distant yet identified.

M51 is a grand-design spiral galaxy about 25 million light-years away from Earth and boasts very well-developed arms.

Well, for starters, thou art less ancient and far less spectacular. The new collection of 19 images reveal face-on spiral galaxies, meaning they are oriented toward Webb’s perceptive gaze.

This faint southern constellation contains a smattering of galaxies — and one standout globular cluster — to explore.

NGC 3596 appears almost perfectly face-on when viewed from Earth, showcasing the galaxy’s neatly wound spiral arms.

Morphology of galaxies contain important information about the process of galaxy formation and evolution. With its state-of-the-art resolution, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has now captured ...

The image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the spiral galaxy around 30 million light-years away up close, in all its glory.

This image of a spiral galaxy, captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, will be on a new United States Postal Service stamp scheduled to be released to the public Jan. 21. Danny Dale, a ...
