NASA’s James Webb space telescope has peered deep into the hearts of nearby spiral galaxies to get a better look at star formation. The new observations are part of a much larger survey where astronomers used Webb to capture observations of the core hearts of nearby galaxies. The goal was to learn more about star formation, as well as how dust and gas coalesces in galactic formations.

The images provide an unprecedented look at the core of the observed galaxies thanks to Webb;’s infrared imaging tools. The data, NASA announced, has helped fuel a collection of 21 initial papers to provide more insight on some of the smallest-scale processes found within our universe. With Webb’s deeper look at star formation, scientists hope to learn more about how the cosmos evolved.

The study, which is the largest survey of nearby galaxies, is currently being carried out by the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby Galaxies collaboration. The team is comprised of more than 100 researchers. So far, the researchers have managed to capture a treasure trove of data with Webb that will help provide clarity on how early star formation happens.
