Beautiful new cover of the Nature Astronomy Journal

Galactic fireworks from Cosmic Dawn: 13.4-billion-year-old photons reveal the extreme conditions in one of the most distant known galaxies.

A colorful cover of the Nature Astronomy journal, dated January 2025, Volume 9, issue number 1. The cover image features colored rays of light emanating from the galaxies pictured in an image captured by the JWST space telescope. One ray is replaced by the particular spectrum of the GHZ2 galaxy represented in terms of its flux density versus observed wavelength. This illustration highlights the JWST/MIRI spectrum of this galaxy, in which atomic transitions from hydrogen and oxygen are present. A title reads "Galactic fireworks from cosmic dawn".
