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."

VLT image of Arp 16, also known as M66.
The glittering image of M66 was taken with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile.
The image highlights the galaxy's warm gas, with hydrogen (red), oxygen (blue), and sulfur (orange). It was taken as part of the PHANGS survey.

JWST image of Arp 16, also known as M66.
This image was taken as part of the PHANGS program. They take high-resolution observations of galaxies at many different wavelengths of light to learn how the small-scale details of how stars form influence the large-scale structures of galaxies.
