Exploring the PHANGS Galaxies

At infrared wavelengths, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope is providing researchers with remarkable detail for the first time in studying star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies. With over 100 researchers from across the world, the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby Galaxies (PHANGS) team is conducting the largest survey of nearby galaxies in Webb's first year of science operations.
