Webb’s first image of Cartwheel Galaxy was released on August 2.Gif: Gizmodo/ESA/WebbSpace is big and scary, and a new video created from Webb Space Telescope data goes to show the massive distances separating us from the objects we’re trying to observe. In this case, it’s the Cartwheel Galaxy, one of Webb’s recent targets.Webb has amazed us since the first full-color images from the observatory arrived in July. Early this month, NASA and its international partners released an incredible image of the Cartwheel Galaxy, a…

Stop what you're doing. The latest official image release from the James Webb Space Telescope is in, and it's a stunning circus of fireworks lighting up the darkness of space.The subject is the Cartwheel Galaxy, a well-known object about 500 million light-years away, and a huge oddity: unlike most other galaxies, which tend to be relatively cohesive, it has several distinct, separated structures, the appearance of which gave the unusual object its name.  Like a cartwheel or Ferris wheel, the galaxy has a distinct outer…

The James Webb Space Telescope peered through dust and gas to reveal star formation in a rare wheel-shaped galaxy that formed in a long-ago galactic crash.  The galaxy, called the Cartwheel for its striking resemblance to a wheel of an old fashioned carriage, was previously studied by the Hubble Space Telescope, but Webb's infrared gaze has revealed a plethora of previously unseen details in the galaxy's structure.  Infrared light, which is essentially heat, penetrates through dust clouds, allowing the James Webb Space…

A large pink, speckled galaxy resembling a wheel with a small, inner oval, with dusty blue in between on the right, with two smaller spiral galaxies about the same size to the left against a black background. This image of the Cartwheel and its companion galaxies is a composite from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), which reveals details that are difficult to see in the individual images alone.

It didn't take long for the images from the James Webb Space Telescope to start demonstrating the incredible power of the instrument, revealing some of the universe's notable landmarks in fascinating new detail. Another stunning example of this has arrived courtesy of the telescope's advanced infrared cameras, illuminating incredible new components of what's known as the Cartwheel Galaxy.The Cartwheel Galaxy lies in the Sculptor constellation around 500 million light years away, and is the product of a violet galactic…

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new, dazzling image of the Cartwheel Galaxy. This rare ring galaxy is roughly 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation. NASA says the galaxy is “a rare sight.” This new galaxy image does more than just show off its beautiful appearance. It also gives us insight into how it has changed over billions of years.

The Cartwheel Galaxy features a small inner ring and a larger outer ring that has been expanding for over 440 million years. Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScIThe Webb Space Telescope team has unveiled the latest image from the observatory, and it’s a gorgeous portrait of the Cartwheel Galaxy, a dazzling object 500 million light-years away that formed from the high-speed collision of two galaxies.Webb has wowed us several times now with its earliest images of the universe, including new views of Jupiter.

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through time and huge amounts of dust to capture a new image of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing the spinning ring of colour in unprecedented clarity, NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday. Located around 500 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Sculptor, the Cartwheel gained its shape during a spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies.The impact sent two rings expanding from the galaxy's centre, "like ripples in a pond after a stone is tossed into…

and its partners on the have shared more spectacular images from the observatory. This time around, they provided a fresh look at the Cartwheel Galaxy, which Hubble and other telescopes previously observed. JWST has been able to reveal new details about both star formation and the black hole at the center of the galaxy, which is around 500 million light years from Earth. Using infrared light detection, JWST was able to peer through the dust that obscured the Cartwheel Galaxy from view when other telescopes observed it.…
