A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captures the breathtaking beauty of spiral galaxy Messier 106. Located a mere 23 million light-years away, this galaxy is relatively close to our own Milky Way and is one of the brightest in the sky. The image showcases the galaxy's swirling arms, which are illuminated by powerful radiation as gas spirals towards its supermassive black hole. This active galactic nucleus is unlike that found at the center of the Milky Way, which only occasionally pulls in wisps of gas.
