Arp 220, found in the constellation Serpens (the Serpent), is an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy that shines brighter than more than 1 trillion suns, according to the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Image of Arp 220 captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument , with compass arrows, scale bar, and color key for reference.
Each of those cores, the STScI added, has a rotating, star-forming ring blasting out of the infrared light that can be seen in the newly released James Webb Space Telescope image.On the outskirts of Arp 200, the Webb image shows faint tidal tails, which are materials drawn off the galaxies due to gravity and is represented in blue in the photo.

Webb captures the spectacular galactic merger Arp 220Shining like a brilliant beacon amidst a sea of galaxies, Arp 220 lights up the night sky in this view from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Actually two spiral galaxies in the process of merging, Arp 220 glows brightest in infrared light, making it an ideal target for Webb. It is an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) with a luminosity of more than a trillion suns. In comparison, our Milky Way galaxy has a much more modest luminosity of about ten billion suns.
