The James Webb Telescope, the most powerful telescope built, recently zoomed in on the Cartwheel Galaxy, capturing incredible images of the distant cosmos. The galaxy is located 500 million light-years away and was captured in stunning detail.
The video released by the European Space Agency, which partners with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, shows a composite image of the Cartwheel Galaxy taken by Webb's near-infrared camera and mid-infrared instrument. The snapshot shows the galaxy to be in a transitory stage, in the process of colliding or interacting with another galaxy.
