When astronomers combine the observational powers of James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope, they capture more detailed portraits of the cosmos. A new image showcasing a galactic pair, shared by NASA on Wednesday, is the striking result of using data from both space observatories.
These small galaxies, which appear to be very close together, aren’t actually interacting with one another, but they allow researchers to trace and compare galactic dust. “Understanding where dust is present in galaxies is important, because dust changes the brightness and colors that appear in images of the galaxies,” Windhorst wrote. “Dust grains are partially responsible for the formation of new stars and planets, so we are always seeking to identify their presence for further studies.
