This stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope captures the collision of two galaxies 250 million light-years away, resulting in an enormous burst of star formation. The luminosity of the two galaxies combined is the equivalent of more than 1 trillion suns, and the amount of gas in the merging galaxies is equal to all of the gas in the entire Milky Way galaxy. The image is a testament to the power of the telescope and the beauty of the universe.
