Webb caught sight of a galactic get-together known as II ZW 96.
The image was created by Webb bringing to bear its cutting-edge NIRCam and MIRI payloads on II ZW 96 and details how the shape of bothWebb captured this merging galaxy pair, known to astronomers as II ZW 96, with a pair of its cutting-edge instruments: NIRCam – the Near-Infrared Camera – and MIRI, the Mid-Infrared Instrument.
NASA scientists note that the spiral arms of the lower galaxy have been twisted out of shape, while the bright cores of both galaxies are connected by the very bright tendrils of star-forming regions that made II ZW 96 such a tempting target for Webb.
