Three images of the galaxy NGC 5068 on a black background. The Hubble image in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light (upper-right) reveals the galaxy's bright-white central bar of stars and tendrils of its spiral arms in hues of pink and blue below. The Webb image in infrared (lower-right) reveals the bright-white central bar and orange details of the galaxy's inner spiral arms. The lower-left image is a wide-field image of NGC 5068 that holds boxes that outline the locations of the Hubble and Webb images.

The Area of NGC 5068 Hubble Observed

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image (upper-right) includes ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. The Webb image (lower-right) is in infrared. The lower-left, wide-field image of NGC 5068 places the locations of the Hubble and Webb images within the context of the entire galaxy and to each other.
