Is that a recent image from the James Webb Telescope? It's stunning (please tell me it's named the Ghostbusters Galaxy)
Joke aside, is it one recently observed or is there a before and after JW comparison? I'm not really curious and try to compare quality, but it seems most of the images we see are often ones from well known shots (pillars of creation). Certainly for communication purposes, because everyone is familiar with it.
But considering the immensity of the observable skies, how many more "pillars of creation" or "crab galaxy" are there waiting to be shown to the world? Or simply ignored because the spot for "cool space shot" is already taken?
