Summary
[edit]DescriptionNGC 1300 (52701175433).png |
English: Now here's a dramatically long, straight bar of dust. There were other barred spirals that were expected to look something more like this, but the bar as viewed by JWST's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) showed something less organized than expected. In NGC 1300, however, the bar is about as plain to see as bars get.
Curiously, to me, anyway, the dust seems to be softer and less sharp than this view of NGC 1566. They were observed using the same filters (hence, resolution should not be the cause). I'm not sure what it means, if anything. Red (screen layer mode): MIRI F2100W Orange: MIRI F1130W Cyan: MIRI F770W Extra overall brightness in grayscale: MIRI F1000W North is 15.53° counter-clockwise from up. |
