Two spiral galaxies in the process of colliding and merging are shown in a stunning image.
There are two clashing galaxies located 60 million light-years away from Earth and will form a brand new elliptical galaxy in 500 million years.
The new image gives scientists a glimpse of what will happen in around 5 billion years when our galaxy, the Milky Way, collides with its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The sun and the solar system could be thrown into a different region of the resulting galaxy.
James Webb Space Telescope's picture looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
One of the most spectacular events in the universe, the early stages of a galactic merger, can be seen in the picture.
About three-quarters of the way between Earth and the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is the center of the two centers.
As the merger progresses, the arm-like patterns in the image will be destroyed. The spiral structures of the galaxies will be lost as they are torn apart.
Streams of gas and stars will be drawn out of each galaxy over millions of years. The process mixes the individual structures of the two groups until a single elliptical galaxy is created.
When the period of rapid star birth ends, the fuel for star formation will have been used up or driven out of the progenitor galaxies.
By combining computer simulations with observations of mergers, researchers have found that they are smooth and featureless.
At the end of the merger process,NGC 4568 andNGC 4567 are likely to create a galaxy that is similar to Messier 89. The old, low-mass stars and ancient, tightly bound pockets of tens of thousands to millions of stars are what make up this ancient galaxy.
A bright explosion caused by the death of a massive star can be seen in the image. The bright spot in the image is located at the center of one of the spiral arms of NGC 4568.
The Hubble Space Telescope spotted the aftermath of the explosion and provided a ringside seat to the last moments of a star. The early warning system of other stars is being created by researchers.
