Description

NASA. DEEP SPACE. LARGE FORMAT. Some might expect to see a giant jellyfish and its two offspring being carried along by the currents, but in reality this is Webb's infrared photograph of the Charette Wheel galaxy. This galaxy formed following a high-speed collision around 400 million years ago. The cartwheel is composed of two rings, a bright inner ring and a colorful outer ring. The two rings expand outwards from the center of the collision like shock waves. On the left, these are simply two much smaller companion galaxies. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Legend on label on back. 50.8 x 40.6CM with margins.
