The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA), James Webb Space TelescopePublished the latest images available from. It was stated that the James Webb Telescope, together with the images of the galaxy named Cartwheel, revealed new details about the star formation and central black hole of the galaxy.
It was reported that the appearance of the Chartwheel Galaxy, which is located in the Sculptor constellation and is stated to be approximately 500 million light-years away from Earth, is formed as a high-speed collision of two galaxies, one spiral and the other smaller.
In the joint statement made by NASA and ESA, it was stated that the collision most affected the shape and structure of the galaxy, and that the Chartwheel Galaxy, which was formed by the collision of a bright inner ring and a colored ring surrounding it, expanded out from the center of the collision.
In the statement, it was stated that the bright ring contains a high amount of hot dust and is home to other young star clusters, while the outer ring has been expanding for about 440 million years. It was stated that as the outer ring expands, it turns into gas, triggering the formation of new stars.
In the statement, he stated that the Cartwheel Galaxy has been studied by other telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, but could not reveal enough mystery due to the amount of dust blocking the view of the galaxy, while the James Webb Telescope, with its ability to detect infrared light, is now star formation in the Carwheel Galaxy and it was reported that it revealed new information about the black hole in its center.
“James Webb gives us a snapshot of the current state of the Cartwheel, while also giving us an idea of what has happened to this galaxy in the past and how it will evolve in the future,” the statement said.
