This week’s photograph from the European Southern Observatory reveals what a mouth-watering caramel nest seems to be like. The picture is of the NGC 1300 spiral galaxy, positioned about 61 million light-years from Earth. It was created utilizing information collected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) based mostly in Chile.
The picture reveals a strip of stars and gasoline with a central ring exhibiting an intense star formation.
The caramel vortex on this image of the week is the spiral galaxy NGC1300. In blue we see the celebrities captured with our VLTs, and within the molecular gasoline of gold illustrated by @almaobs , What is the relation between the 2?

“The image is a combination of observations of different colors – or wavelengths – of light. The golden caramel glow corresponds to clouds of molecular gas, the raw material from which stars form,” ESO stated in a launch.
The pictures had been taken as a part of the Physics at High Angular Resolution in Near Galaxies (PHANGS) mission. The mission goals to make high-resolution observations of close by galaxies utilizing a number of telescopes together with ALMA, VLT, Hubble and the lately launched James Webb Space Telescope.
Different telescopes will assist to look at close by galaxies at totally different wavelengths. “Different wavelengths can reveal many mysteries about a galaxy and by comparing them, astronomers are able to study what activates, promotes or hinders the birth of new stars,” the discharge stated.
