See the James Webb Space Telescope's view of a galaxy merger in stunning 4K

The James Webb Space Telescope captured amazing imagery of merging galaxies II ZW 96. The merger is located 500 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Delphinus.

Fabulously beautiful! Interacting and possibly merging galaxies, star, nurseries, beautiful, color, and definition, it just doesn’t get better than this!

[kennyjean]

Wow 😲 the distance from here to there is so far, its unimaginable!

[HansDunkelberg]

Good music, slightly threatening. That's appropriate already because of the vastness of space, but in this case it has another good reason. We're obviously looking at how a bird from the stars Nelson Bond has had a vision of, in his short story _And lo! the Bird, _ hatches.

Such stunning images of the vastness of the galaxies, IT IS HUMBLING TO KNOW WHAT IS OUT THERE AND GODS CREATION

Wow.. never gets old. Why, how is this cold vast vacuum existing?. What was before it?..on the other side?. This was one of the first questions had as a child. 46yrs later..still hungry for the answer

500 million light years in 20 seconds.

Fascinating to look at but disappointing that I will never know the final outcome.

People: "Zoom and enhance isn't a thing!"
JWST: "Hold my beeryllium tiles..."

[MobileRecordingsRo]

Probably they are merged into one already

[timlovick]

Think about how beautiful that is and also how sad that is I believe for certain there is life within those two galaxies and I'm not sure how it works with Galaxy mergers and it's assumed that is not too violent but it seems like life would be lost so it's a sense of sadness it makes you appreciate every second we have here on Earth

Does someone have any video of real images frames within years to see galaxy merging movements.?

[eryniswan]

What are we seeing?
According to the info if we see the object 560 million light years means we see the 560 at least million light years ago.
What can JWST precisely give US, what time thi object we seeing now? Current time or a half or mid point' or 560 million light years ago?

[Crossawnt]

What you see is what happened 500 million years ago it is probably a galaxy by now

[christinebethencourt]

There ‘so many marvels to see up there, poor JWT, just deciding which way to turn his antennas must drive him crazy ……🤣

[ganeskmr]

What happen if any creature living inside the both Galaxy they will see how the galaxy come close and destroy everything onside is very cool but another side very sad but it was happened Millions years ago my god what is the today condition, if we think it will take my breath and it make me Blood Pressure.

Meanwhile they cant even get a clear image of a burglary suspect...

[mddelman]

So it was important for your logo to be bigger and brighter than some of the most awe-inspiring cosmic images ever seen?

[farrider]

We know a lot, but are unable to follow this knowledge..
Greed and bloodshed
