MIRI and NIRCam composite from @janiceleeastro's #PHANGS program. NGC1385. Kind of a disorganized galaxy. Not sure where I'm going with this. Just something pretty to look at.

Listening to talks from the #JWST #PHANGS team discussing star formation and the bubbles seen in nearby spirals like #NGC628 made me wonder if Gould’s Belt in the Milky Way is a relic of a similar process.
