"NASA Telescopes Uncover 14 New Objects in 'Christmas Tree' Galaxy Cluster"

NASA has released a stunning image of a distant pair of colliding galaxy clusters, known as the "Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster," captured by combining infrared data from the James Webb Space Telescope and visible light observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. The image showcases a range of light wavelengths, revealing a polychromatic appearance. The clusters, located about 4.3 billion light years away, are expected to merge and form an even larger cluster. The study also identified 14 transients, objects that vary in brightness over time, in the galaxy clusters. This image is part of NASA's unprecedented series of super-deep views of the universe, building on the legacy of the Hubble telescope.
