NGC 2090 by Webb.
ESA chose this object to be Picture Of The Month (POTM) of November 2024.
🔭 🧪
A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disc. It has a shining spot at the centre from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disc fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars.

This image shows the Sombrero Galaxy, a spiral galaxy located about 29.35 million light-years away from Earth. It appears as a bright, white, oval-shaped object with a thick, dark dust lane encircling its center. The galaxy's bright core is surrounded by a prominent bulge, and it has a thin disk of stars and gas that extends outwards. The image captures the galaxy's intricate structure and the vast expanse of space that surrounds it.
