space telescope James Webb overcame time and a huge amount of dust to capture a new image Galaxy Cart Wheel with unprecedented clarity, as reported on Tuesday POT and the European Space Agency (THIS IS).

It is located approximately 500 million light-years from Earth, in the constellation Sculptor. cart wheel It acquired its form after a head-on collision of two galaxies.

From the impact, two rings expanded from the center galaxy“like ripples in a pond after a stone is thrown into it,” they explained POT and THIS IS in a joint statement.

At the center of the galaxy is a smaller white ring, while the outer ring, with its colored spokes, has been expanding in the universe for about 440 million years, the statement said. As the outer part expands, it collides with gas, causing new stars to form.

new images

Hubble has already taken pictures of this strange ring galaxy, thought to be spiral like the Milky Way, before the smaller galaxy crashed into it.

But the Webb Telescope, launched in December 2021, has a longer range to capture images.

Webb’s ability to detect infrared light allowed him to see through “great amounts of hot dust” that obscured the ship’s view. Galaxy Cartwheelconfirmed POT and THIS IS.

This opened up new details about star formation in galaxy, as well as the behavior of the supermassive black hole at its heart, they said.

He was also able to detect regions rich in hydrocarbons and other chemicals in the form of earth dust.

per cart wheeltwo other smaller galaxies shine, and more structures can be seen behind them.

Visual studies show that Galaxy Cartwheel It is still in a “very transitional phase,” according to the space agencies.

“Webb gives us a snapshot of the current state cart wheel and also gives an idea of ​​what happened to this galaxy in the past and how it will develop in the future” (AFP).
