"Happy Halloween from @NASAWebb and @NASAHubble! This terrifying new image combines data from both telescopes, unveiling a scary pair of “eyes” in space.
These eyes are actually the cores of two galaxies. The smaller spiral galaxy on the left is IC 2163. It has been slowly “creeping” behind the larger galaxy, NGC 2207.
It’s possible this pair will swing by one another repeatedly over the course of many millions of years. Their cores and arms might eventually meld, leaving behind completely reshaped arms, and an even brighter cyclops-like “eye” at the core.
These galaxies are busy places! In just one Earth year,they can form the equivalent of two dozen new stars that are the size of our Sun. That’s a lot compared to our Milky Way, which only forms the equivalent of two or three new Sun-like stars per year.
This image’s macabre colors are produced by combining mid-infrared light from Webb with ultraviolet and visible light from Hubble!"
