TL;DR Summary

A stunning new image captured by the Hubble and Webb space telescopes showcases the colliding galaxy clusters known as MACS0416, located 4.3 billion light-years from Earth. The image combines visible and infrared light to provide a comprehensive view of the universe, with blue galaxies representing the closest objects and red galaxies indicating greater distance. Webb's observations also identified 14 transients, including stars and supernovas, thanks to gravitational lensing. One star system, nicknamed "Mothra," appeared magnified in both Hubble and Webb observations, raising questions about its origin.
