This is a high-resolution infrared image of NGC 3147, a face-on spiral galaxy. The galaxy has tightly wound spiral arms speckled with star formation regions, radiating from a prominent, bright central bulge. The image, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam instrument, reveals intricate details, including dark dust lanes and bright star clusters within the spiral arms.
