James Webb Space Telescope Nasa recently captured the chaos of the cartwheel galaxy which is located nearly 500 million light years in the constellation of sculptors. It also captured two smaller companion galaxies against many other galaxies.

Detailed images produced by this strong webb infrared gaze reveals new details about the formation of stars and black holes in the Galaxy. This shows how the cartwheel galaxy has changed for billions of years.

Cartwheel galaxy, as seen in the picture, looks like a cart wheel. Its appearance results from high-speed intense events between large spiral galaxies and smaller galaxies (not visible in this picture).

NASA officials said, “The collision of the proportion of galaxy caused a different and smaller event between the galaxy involved; Kertak wheels are no exception. “

The galaxy contains two rings: a bright inner ring and colorful ring around it. The two rings expanded from the middle of the collision, like ripples in the pool after the stone was thrown into it. Because of the interesting features of this galaxy, this galaxy is also known as a ring galaxy.

The large young star cluster is seen in the brightest area of ​​the core, which also covers a large amount of heat. On the other hand, the formation of stars and supernova dominated in the outer ring, which has grown for nearly 440 million years. When it grows, this ring collides with the surrounding gas, causing the formation of stars.

Other telescopes, including the Hubble space telescope, had previously examined the cartwheel. But the dramatic galaxy has been shrouded in mystery – maybe literally, given the amount of dust that obscures the view. Webb, with its ability to detect infrared light, now reveals new insights about the nature of cartwheel.

Nasa said, “The infrared-close camera (NIRCAM), the main imager of the Webb, is seen in the infrared range of 0.6 to 5 microns, seeing important wavelengths of light that can express more stars than observed in visible light. This is because young stars, many of which are formed in the outer ring, are less obscured by the presence of dust when observed in infrared light. In this picture, Nircam data are blue, orange, and yellow. Galaxy displays many blue points, individual stars, or star formation pockets. Nircam also revealed the difference between the fine distribution or the shape of the older star population and the solid dust in the core compared to the forms of clumpy associated with the younger star population outside of it. “

“However, studying better details about dust that inhabits galaxies, requires medium infrared instruments webb (Miri). Miri data is red in this composite image. This reveals the area in the cartwheel galaxy which is rich in hydrocarbons and other chemical compounds, as well as silicate dust, like most dust on earth. These areas form a series of spiral fingers which basically form a galaxy frame. These fingers are proven in previous Hubble observations released in 2018, but they become much more prominent in this webb image. “
