Scientists have combined images from the Hubble and James Webb telescopes to provide new details on a galaxy known as the Phantom Galaxy.
The Phantom Galaxy is what's known as a "Grand Design Spiral" -- which means it has well-defined spiral arms.
Those arms contain delicate filaments of gas and dust, while the center is a nuclear star cluster.
The Phantom Galaxy is about 32 million light years away.
