The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy, a ring galaxy located 500 million light-years away that formed when a large spiral galaxy and a small galaxy violently collided.
The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy.
These features are why scientists categorize the Cartwheel as a ring galaxy, which is much less common than spiral galaxies. Meanwhile, the outer ring has been expanding for 440 million years, and it's where star formation and star death occur. As the ring expands, it collides with gas, triggering more star formation.The Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories have studied the Cartwheel, but accumulations of dust have obscured the galaxy's mysteries.
