If you look closely at this image of the Cartwheel Galaxy captured by #Webb... you might just spot a turkey 🦃✨ The ancient Greeks often saw animals in the stars, inspiring constellations like Cygnus (the Swan) and Aquila (the Eagle). This #Thanksgiving, we’re keeping that creativity alive and are especially thankful for the technology that allows us to explore space and uncover its mysteries like never before. 📷: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
