Summary
[edit]DescriptionA “Jellyfish” Galaxy Swims Into View of NASA’s Upcoming Webb Telescope (46715031915).jpg |
If you look at the galaxy ESO 137-001 in visible light, you can see why it’s considered an example of a “jellyfish” galaxy. Blue ribbons of young stars dangle from the galaxy’s disk like cosmic tentacles. If you look at the galaxy in X-ray light, however, you will find a giant tail of hot gas streaming behind the galaxy. After launch, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will study ESO 137-001 to learn how the gas is being removed from the galaxy, and why stars are forming within that gaseous tail.

Image: This composite view of ESO 137-001 includes visible light from Hubble and X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (in blue). It reveals a tail of hot gas that has been stripped from the galaxy. Credits: NASA, ESA, CXC |
