"Webb Telescope Reveals Spectacular Celestial Battle"

The James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning image of the aftermath of a galactic collision in the peculiar galaxy NGC 3256, located 120 million light-years away. The collision, which occurred around 500 million years ago, triggered a burst of star formation, resulting in vibrant red and orange regions in the galaxy. The image, taken in infrared wavelengths, reveals details that the Hubble Space Telescope cannot see. The study of galactic mergers provides insights into stellar populations, star formations, galactic growth, and the mass of supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies.
