The unique camera technology about the telescope has allowed this great stride forward.

The Cartwheel Galaxy is a special phenomenon 500-million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation.

Dust at the center of the rings has previously made observing the galaxy more challenging.

The new images of the Cartwheel Galaxy were taken using the NIRCam and MIRI imaging systems.

The NIRCam senses the near-infrared light range from 0.6 to 5 microns.

This helps cut through some of the dust which obscures visible light.

The blue dots are stars or stars in the process of forming.

The MIRI tool senses mid-infrared light.

Its data appears red in the composite image below.

These regions form a series of spiraling spokes that essentially form the galaxys skeleton.
