James Webb telescope marks second anniversary with an image of the Penguin and the Egg galaxies


These are interacting galaxies collectively known as Arp 142 located 326 million light-years from Earth, captured by the James Webb in interactive light.

NASA and its partners, the European and Canadian space agencies, are celebrating the second year since the James Webb Telescope started sending back photos of the universe by releasing an image of the Penguin and the Egg galaxies. In this image taken by the James Webb, the interaction between the two galaxies is marked by a faintly glowing upside-down U. NASA and its partners launched the James Webb Telescope in late 2021 after more than a decade of delays caused by spiraling costs and construction woes.
