Dieses atemberaubende Bild zeigt NGC 2207 und IC 2163derzeit zwei Spiralgalaxien interagieren und kollidieren miteinander. Die Schwerkraft zwischen ihnen verdreht ihre Spiralarme und löst eine intensive Wirkung aus Sternentstehung und enthüllte riesige Staubwolken. Dieses Bild vereint James Webb Weltraumteleskop (Infrarot) Daten mit Chandra-Röntgenobservatorium Daten, die sowohl Sternentstehungsregionen als auch energiereiche Röntgenquellen hervorheben.

What’s the distance from Earth?
what an incredible image, for some reason makes me wonder if we’ll see better images of black holes soon
Andromeda to Milky Way: „This could be us but you playing.“
This is what happens when two cosmic ponds collide, the ripples make some fancy patterns.
I’m worried for the aliens living in one of those planets
This kind of thing seems unfathomable to my tiny human brain.
James Webb really should let them go
The larger, heavier beyblade typically wins.
It is said that due to the extreme vastness of space that when the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies merge, there is an extreme unlikelihood that any of the stars will collide during that time. While there are more than 100 billion stars in each galaxy, there is, on average, 47 trillion kilometers in between each star.
Look for NGC 4676. AKA The Mice, are also two colliding galaxies.
Which galaxy was at fault?
and by the time we get milkdromeda Elder scrolls 6 will still not be out
The Trillion-Body Problem. The lifeforms there are freaking out.
any updates how is progressing?… i check the feed every 15 min but looks the same…
dude, some privacy, please
This is old news. Those galaxies have been colliding my whole life.
How fast are these traveling towards each other? Any change we might see just a tiny bit of progress during our lifetimes?
Good it did. Few trillion years and we would completely miss it.
Doesn’t anyone see a rabbit head?
Dude after a lifetime of hubble images I still can’t get used to just how insane the Webb photos are
The ESA has a Hubble JWST comparison tool at this link.

How long does something like this take on average? Like if this was the Milky Way, would it have any tangible impact on us within our lifetimes? An apocalypse that could be covered in the runtime of a B-movie plot? Or are human lives too short on a cosmic scale for us to notice this without telescopes, much less “experience” it?
Potentially stupid question. How do we know these are colliding and one isnt just closer to us? I’m sure there’s an answer, I just don’t know what it is. How can we tell exactly how far away a star is?
can there a be a civilization on a planet in one of these galaxies that can live out for centuries while in the midst of this collision without any sort of significant impact on their planet/solar system?
It really bends my brain to realize this happened before dinosaurs existed.
So this is the type of image JWST is capable of. Worth the wait
Its crazy that on a galactic level its moving so slow but on a stellar level, those stars and planets are zipping around so fast!
Good timing on that photo. If we had been a bit later, we would have missed this altogether.
I wonder if the lifeform there even know what is occurring to their solar system.
The interstellar space is so vast that civilizations, if any exist, may never notice what’s happening around them.
I wonder what the intelligent life on those galaxies are experiencing at this moment
