Webb telescope image captures stunning spiral galaxy over a billion light-years away

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope captured ancient galaxies and a distant spiral galaxy in stunning detail. 

The crowded field shows bright stars and the large spiral galaxy LEDA 2046648, which is more than a billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Hercules. 

The galaxy is accompanied by smaller, more distant galaxies, shown as spirals and bright smudges.
