New James Webb telescope video reveals incredible Cartwheel Galaxy

Travelling 500 million light-years in just a matter of seconds, this incredible new video zooms through space to reveal the spectacular Cartwheel Galaxy as captured by the James Webb telescope. It has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy's central black hole Travelling 500 million light-years in just a matter of seconds, a new video zooms through space to reveal the spectacular Cartwheel Galaxy as captured by the James Webb telescope INSTRUMENTS ON THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE NIRCam an infrared imager from the edge of the visible through the near infrared NIRSpec will also perform spectroscopy over the same wavelength range. James Webb's image and NASA's associated video also provide a new view of how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years. The $10 billion observatory's powerful infrared gaze produced a rare sight of the Cartwheel and two smaller companion galaxies against a backdrop of many other galaxies Scientists say the detailed view will provide new details about star formation and the galaxy's central black hole Its appearance, much like that of the wheel of a wagon, is the result of an intense event — a high-speed collision between a large spiral galaxy and a smaller galaxy not visible in this image These regions form a series of spiraling spokes that essentially form the galaxy’s skeleton.
