Arp 142: Interacting Galaxies from Webb
To some, this pair of interacting galaxies, known as Arp 142, resembles a penguin. The upper galaxy, NGC 2936, was likely a normal spiral until it came too close to the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2937 below. This new infrared image from the Webb telescope reveals the intricate details of their gravitational dance.
