Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} NASA telescopes have captured two ghastly galaxies that look like a creepy pair of staring “blood-soaked” eyes floating in space. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said the colors were made possible using mid-infrared light from the James Webb Space Telescope and visible and ultraviolet light from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope captured a pair of spiral galaxies some 114 million light-years from Earth. Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument, also known as MIRI, is an imager that has helped to reveal new features of the galaxies’ “near miss.” NASA said that IC 2163, to the left of the shot, slowly crept behind NGC 2207 millions of years ago.
