NASA monitors the collision of two galaxies 700 million light-years away
NASA has detected the collision of two galaxies 700 million light-years away.
The US Space Agency’s James Webb telescope captured this amazing moment.
The impact produced infrared light as powerful as a trillion suns.
As a result, a cluster of galaxies called ARP220 was formed.
There are about 200 large stars in the galaxy.
The explosion comes as part of the merger of two galaxies known as “ARB 220”, noting that the two galaxies began colliding about 700 million years ago, according to scientists’ estimates.
The new James Webb telescope image also reveals “tails”, or material flowing away from the two galaxies, in blue.
Meanwhile, streams and reddish-orange filaments of organic material from the merger of the two galaxies can be seen.
