Rare picture of Spiral Galaxy captured from Webb Telescope

  The extraordinary image of SPIRAL GALAXY IC 5322  has been captured by Hubble Space Telescope.    Reference SPIRAL GALAXY IC 5322 is around 29 million light years from our planet and assumed to be smaller then our own milky way. The uniqeness of this image is the unprecedented detail of the IC 5322 spiral galaxy released by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.  Webb Telescope used its Mid-Infrared instrument, or MIRI  technology whcih is sensitive to light on mid infrared wavelengths, a type of wavelength that can only be observed by telescopes outside of earth's atmosphere and it is  one of the four powerful observatory tools to investigate the cosmos, as per the release  from NASA .  IC 5332 is famous for almost perfectly face on with our own planet Earth allowing us to admire the symmetrical sweep of its spiral arms,  release  from NASA .
