The Cartwheel Galaxy, named for its resemblance to a wagon wheel, is located about 500 million light-years away.
has given us the clearest look of the Cartwheel Galaxy so far.
An image of the distant Cartwheel Galaxy, located about 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation. It was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The image shows the Cartwheel Galaxy alongside two"smaller companion galaxies, against a backdrop of many other galaxies." The image reveals that the Cartwheel Galaxy has a bright inner ring and a surrounding colorful ring, the result of a high-speed collision between a large spiral galaxy and a smaller galaxy, NASA said.
The Cartwheel Galaxy, whose rings expand outwards from the center of the collision, is categorized as a"ring galaxy," which are more rare than spiral galaxies like our Milky Way, NASA said.
