Not gonna lie Id could watch this on an IMax or planetarium and really enjoy it, this always makes me feel so insignificant...




This image of the Cartwheel and its companion galaxies is a composite from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), which reveals details that are difficult to see in the individual images alone.

Webb’s observations capture Cartwheel in a very transitory stage. The form that the Cartwheel Galaxy will eventually take, given these two competing forces, is still a mystery. However, this snapshot provides a perspective on what happened to the galaxy in the past and what it will do in the future.
