The Webb telescope’s new finding shows the eerie-looking and “irregular” galaxy NGC 6822, also known as Bernard’s Galaxy, in unprecedented detail, shedding light on what a “very early” universe may have looked like. Astronomers said contemporary galaxies like NGC 6822, with low metallicity, can reveal how processes like the evolution of stars and the life cycle of interstellar dust occurred in the early universe. The NIRCam’s image has revealed the galaxy’s countless stars in unprecedented detail, with dust and gas that pervade the galaxy reduced to translucent red wisps, thus laying the stars bare for further analysis. Image shows the irregular galaxy NGC 6822 observed by the Near-InfraRed Camera and Mid-InfraRed Instrument mounted on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope NGC 6822 was first discovered by EE Barnard, who presented his discovery in a very brief paper in 1884.
