TL;DR

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of 19 Milky Way-like spiral galaxies, revealing stars, gas, and dust in unprecedented detail. These images, taken as part of the PHANGS survey, show galaxies at the smallest scales ever observed outside our own galaxy, providing valuable insights into the physics of star formation. The telescope's unique ability to capture infrared light has allowed scientists to visualize dust clouds and objects too faint for normal telescopes to see, offering a "mind-blowing" view of these distant galaxies.
