On Wednesdays we wear pink.
Arp 107, an interacting galaxy pair, was captured by Webb in both the near and mid-infrared. What does each infrared wavelength tell us? Webb’s mid-infrared observations (highlighted here in pinkish hues show star-forming regions and dust, as well as the large spiral galaxy’s bright nucleus. Near-infrared data showcases the stars within the colliding galaxies, as well as the translucent bridge of stars being pulled from them both. Read more about these colliding galaxies in the link in the first comment.
