"Adorable Galaxies: NASA's Penguin and Egg-Shaped Wonders Revealed"

NASA shared an image of ARP 142, a pair of galaxies resembling a penguin and an egg, taken by the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, located 23 million light-years from Earth. The "penguin" galaxy, NGC 2936, shows new stars and gas strands, while the "egg" galaxy, NGC 2937, appears featureless with older stars. The image helps astronomers understand the life cycles of galaxies, and the James Webb Space Telescope may provide even greater clarity in the future.
