Cartwheel Galaxy, James Webb Space Telescope Dartboard

Peer through the cosmic keyhole and witness the Cartwheel Galaxy, a celestial spectacle unlike any other. The Webb telescope unveils its majestic form, a ring of brilliant starlight encircling a distorted core, a testament to a colossal collision with a smaller galaxy long ago. Flanked by two companion galaxies, forever caught in a cosmic dance, the Cartwheel dominates the foreground. But the true depth of the image lies beyond, a tapestry of faint, swirling galaxies, a deep field unveiled by Webb's incredible power. Each speck of light a universe untold, whispering stories of formation, evolution, and the vastness of existence. This file is in the public domain because it was created by NASA.
