Prepare for visual overload! Today, 19 images of nearby face-on spiral galaxies by the James Webb Space Telescope were released. This marks the first time we’ve observed these galaxies in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light. What do they uniquely show?
The galaxies’ clearly defined spiral arms are brimming with millions of stars. Their centers may be filled with old star clusters or active supermassive black holes. And Webb has shown us where stars that haven’t yet fully formed are still encased in the gas and dust that feed their growth, like bright red seeds.
Webb’s new images are part of a large, long-standing project, the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program, and will be added to images and data from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Telescope’s Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. Now, astronomers around the world can examine these galaxies carefully in ultraviolet, visible, radio—and now near- and mid-infrared light.

ALT TEXT: Nineteen Webb images of face-on spiral galaxies are combined in a mosaic. Some appear within squares, and others horizontal or vertical rectangles. Many galaxies have blue hazes toward the centers, and all have orange spiral arms. Many have clear bar shaped-structures at their centers, but a few have spirals that begin at their cores. Some of the galaxies’ arms form clear spiral shapes, while others are more irregular. Some of the galaxies’ arms appear to rotate clockwise and others counterclockwise. Most galaxy cores are centered, but a few appear toward an image’s edge. Most galaxies appear to extend beyond the captured observations. The galaxies shown, listed in alphabetical order, are IC 5332, NGC 628, NGC 1087, NGC1300, NGC 1365, NGC 1385, NGC 1433, NGC 1512, NGC 1566, NGC 1672, NGC 2835, NGC 3351, NGC 3627, NGC 4254, NGC 4303, NGC 4321, NGC 4535, NGC 5068, and NGC 7496.

What is physics of the gravitational force
General relativity and
Classics mechanics has their definition on gravitation and formulae accordingly to the context
The Hypothetical theory ...
With the consideration of string theory and models. Gravitation is taken into consideration and account for explanation.
How the gravitation is spread in every dimension.
With theory representing no. of dimensions ( like bosonic, M theory, and others)
Gravitation is spread ....
Speaking of dimensions in 5 6 7 8 9 ... The whole lot of conspiracy theory on gravitation and mystical answers can be solved.
Gravity and the space time tend to behave proportionally.
The gravitational force is formed with 2 bodies with a mass. And therefore the physics of it relies on the 2 mass bodies with the respective constituent and variations that are happening.
For example. Take 2 stars or 2 dwarfs or space time with a considerate light years of galaxy in and around.
And the mass and density with X( Gev) and Y ( Gev), corresponding a gravitational force or imbibing a force in the space time with the formulation perceived with the general theory of relativity and classical mechanics.
From research point of view : the physics of the force may clearly interchange with the mass and density of a celestial bodies which is included and comprised under the space time.

What is casting dark shadows across 36,000 light-years of space in this Hubble Space Telescope image?
The mysterious dark rays appearing to emanate from galaxy IC 5063 have intrigued astronomers, and there are a few different ideas about what is causing them. They could be like the shadows of clouds when light from the setting Sun pierces through them.
Astronomers have traced the rays back to the galaxy’s core, the location of an active supermassive black hole. One idea suggests that the shadows are being cast into space by an inner tube-shaped ring, or torus, of dusty material surrounding the black hole.

ALT TEXT: Rust-colored view of space, with a bright, narrow purple region at the center, a galaxy. Background stars and galaxies are scattered sparsely—this is a dusty rather than starry scene. To the upper left of the bright central region are dark dust lanes. Opposite these to the lower right, one dark area extends from the central bright region and splits into two dark rays. Similar dark rays can be seen to the top left, behind the dust lanes. The edges of the entire image are dark, fading from the colored center.
