and scatters visible light more strongly than near‑infrared radiation, so a genuine dust veil should appear less opaque in JWST’s infrared images than in Hubble’s optical frames. Instead, the cavity remained equally black across both wavelength regimes,...

JWST uncovers hidden structures in nearby galaxy Centaurus A, giving a fresh look at the cosmic collision that drives its evolution. Infrared observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have pierced the veil of dust that cloaks the nearby...
