Transition video: Hubble and Webb's views of NGC 2566

The galaxy filling the frame on both sides of this slider tool is NGC 2566, a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Puppis.

The first view of the galaxy shown is a new image that is a combination of data from Webb’s MIRI and NIRCam instruments shows off NGC 2566’s well-defined spiral arms, long central bar and delicate tracery of gas, dust and stars.

The second image is an also-new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, featured this week as part of the ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week series, and shows the galaxy’s star clusters and star-forming regions, bright in visible and ultraviolet light.
