The James Webb Space Telescope, which has been providing us with fascinating images about space since its inception, has sent and continues to send many images that will help us understand galaxies, stars and how the universe came into existence.

In his latest images, there is a process in which our galaxy will be involved in the future. He photographed the collision of two galaxies. The formation, named Arp 220, consists of two spiral galaxies that are in the process of merging. These galaxies began colliding 700 million years ago.

Consisting of two galaxies, Arp 220 is 250 million light-years away from us. At the same time, Arp 220 is the brightest of the three nearest galaxy mergers. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope had previously discovered the cores of these main galaxies, located 1,200 light-years apart. The merging cores of these two galaxies are each surrounded by rings that fuel star formation.

The image of this process, in which gigantic energies are released, is more than a trillion times the brightness of the Sun.

This is how Hubble had captured this scene before.

Now that's how James Webb viewed it.
