Webb telescope spies a celestial sparkler among the universe's earliest galaxies

6. One of the wonderful things about this photo....

besides the mind boggling distances, and amount of galaxies we see zooming in, is seeing the spiral form.

There's one very obvious one in about a straight line to the right of the biggest 8 "pointed" star near-ish to the edge of the right side. We are seeing it "from above".

Then there are the ones in the upper left area at near side views where we see the arms "compressed" by perspective into "lines", or barely seeing the spiral arms; but we also can then see the central bulge.

There's a orangy spiral one near the "noon" straight up.",point " of the biggest star to the right with a nice tilt to it

Finally there maybe be one (oranged colored) near the upper right corner that's either part of the "lending" effect, two appearing very close to each other, or a simple barred spiral. That is - the central bar seems to have only one spiral swirling, curving outward and each barred end.

For all the decades I've been following astronomy; I didn't find out that our Milky Way Galaxy is actually a barred spiral vs a normal spiral galaxy until early this year, or late last year!
