The James Webb Space Telescope captured a dazzling image of the result of a cosmic collision located approximately 120 million light-years away from Earth.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'The Milky Way-sized galaxy NGC 3256The European Space Agency and NASA said that it was estimated to have formed 500 million years ago, with the intermingling of dust and gas from the impact of the two massive spiral galaxies that sparked star formation.
The distorted galaxy's infant stars shine most brightly in infrared light and long tendrils reveal its turbulent past. The peculiar galaxy NGC 3256 dominates this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. This Milky Way-sized galaxy lies about 120 million light-years away in the constellation Vela and is a denizen of the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster.
This image, taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys , both installed on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the peculiar galaxy NGC 3256. An image from its Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camer 3 showed the dark threads of dust and molecular gas around the centers of the galaxies in detail, as well as the hot stars that give the core a blue hue.
