TL;DR Summary

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured a breathtaking image of Messier 77 (the Squid Galaxy), highlighting a bright core and radiating light beams. The glow is powered by gas heated by a central black hole; some rays are optical artifacts of the telescope. M77 sits about 47 million light-years away in Cetus and has a magnitude around 9.6, making it visible with modest telescopes.
