The distorted spiral galaxy at center, the Penguin, and the compact elliptical at left, the Egg, are locked in an active embrace. This near- and mid-infrared image combines data from NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope\u2019s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), and marks the telescope\u2019s second year of science. Webb\u2019s view shows that their interaction is marked by a glow of scattered stars represented in blue. Known jointly as Arp 142, the galaxies made their first pass by one another between 25 and 75 million years ago, causing \u201cfireworks,\u201d or new star formation, in the Penguin. The galaxies are approximately the same mass, which is why one hasn\u2019t consumed the other.<\/div>\n

To celebrate the second science anniversary<\/a> of NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope, the team has released a near- and mid-infrared image on July 12, 2024,\u00a0of two interacting galaxies: The Penguin and the Egg.<\/p>\n

Webb specializes in capturing infrared light \u2013 which is beyond what our own eyes can see \u2013 allowing us to view and study these two galaxies, collectively known as Arp 142. Their ongoing interaction was set in motion between 25 and 75 million years ago, when the Penguin (individually cataloged as NGC 2936) and the Egg (NGC 2937) completed their first pass. They will go on to shimmy and sway, completing several additional loops before merging into a single galaxy hundreds of millions of years from now.<\/p>\n
