PHANGS–JWST First Results: Massive Young Star Clusters and New Insights from JWST Observations of NGC 1365

A primary new capability of JWST is the ability to penetrate the dust in star-forming galaxies to identify and study the properties of young star clusters that remain embedded in dust and gas. In this Letter we combine new infrared images taken with JWST with our optical Hubble Space Telescope (HST)...
