ALMA image of Arp 16, also known as M66.

This image of M66, shows the location of cold clouds of molecular gas. It’s in these cold, dusty clouds that new stars form.
It was taken as part of the PHANGS program, to help understand how the small-scale details of how stars form influence the large-scale structures of galaxies.

Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 16, also known as M66.

M66 is about 37 million light-years (11.3 Mpc) away.
It was discovered by Charles Messier on 1 March 1780, object 66 in his catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets." He described it as "very long and very faint."

The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.11778 -> "We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc [here NGC 1566]), based on high-resolution Halpha imaging from HST, homogenised to a fixed 10 pc resolution and sensitivity. Combined with MUSE spectroscopy, this enables robust classification of 4882 H II regions and separation of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. [...] The dataset provides a detailed, spatially resolved link between nebular structure and ionising sources, serving as a benchmark for future studies of feedback, diffuse ionised gas, and star formation regulation in the interstellar medium. The full catalogue is made publicly available in machine-readable format." #PHANGS

The final galaxy in the 19 days of #PHANGS series is NGC 7496, a face-on, dusty spiral, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.

It was discovered on September 5, 1834 by John Herschel, son of astronomer William Herschel and nephew of astronomer Caroline Herschel.

The galaxy is about 60 million light years (19 Mpc) away.

The next galaxy in the 19 days of #PHANGS series is NGC 5068, a face on spiral, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.

Unlike many of the other PHANGS galaxies, NGC 5068 has a small, weak bar and discontinuous spiral arms. Galaxies with patchy spiral arms like NGC 5068 are known as flocculent spirals.

The galaxy is about 17 million light years (5.2 Mpc) away.

Next in the 19 days of #PHANGS galaxies series is the grand design spiral galaxy NGC 4321, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.

NGC 4321, also known as M100, is about 50 million light-years (15 Mpc) away.

It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and entered as object 100 in Messier’s catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets”.

Next in the 19 days of #PHANGS galaxies is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4303, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.

NGC 4303, also known as M61, is about 55 million light-years (17 Mpc) away.

It was discovered by Barnaba Oriani on May 5, 1779. Charles Messier saw it on the same night but mistook it for a comet, only realizing his mistake a few days later when it did not move. It is object 66 in Messier’s catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets”.

Next in our 19 days of #PHANGS galaxies series is the grand design spiral NGC 4254, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.

The galaxy has well-defined, loosely wound arms. Most of those arms are completely normal winding counterclockwise around the galaxy. One arm is “peculiar” appearing to extend out further with a greater separation from the rest of the galaxy. It's the Trogdor of galaxies.

NGC 4254, also known as M99, is about 42 million light-years (13.1 Mpc) away.

Next in our 19 days of #PHANGS galaxies series is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3627, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.

NGC 3627, also known as M66, is about 37 million light-years (11.3 Mpc) away.

It was discovered by Charles Messier on 1 March 1780, object 66 in his catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets”. He described it as "very long and very faint."
