Hubble reveals the "lost galaxy" as a vibrant spiral with newly formed stars and glowing clouds of cosmic energy.
This image of the Sombrero galaxy, taken by Webb's Medium AA camera, is shown with compass arrows, a scale, and a color key. The image shows wavelengths of medium AA light translated into visible light colors. The color key shows the filters used when they collected the light. The color of each filter name is the color of the visible light used to represent the AA light passing through that filter. The north and east compass arrows show the direction of the image in the sky. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
