Get pulled in… This image of a pair of galaxies – one elliptical (left) and the other spiral (right) – reveals something special: the supermassive black hole at the center of the large spiral galaxy. As the black hole gobbles up surrounding gas and dust, that material heats up and lets out a tremendous amount of energy, making the galaxy’s core shine brightly. The black hole also displays NASAWebb’s characteristic diffraction spikes, caused by the light emitted interacting with the structure of the telescope itself. Webb observed this galactic pair collectively known as Arp 107 with two instruments, MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) and NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera), that observe different light wavelengths. Each wavelength offers unique insights into the structure of Arp 107. This image comes from MIRI. Image description: A pair of interacting galaxies. The larger of the two galaxies is slightly right of center, and is composed of a bright, white center and a ring of blue, gaseous fil...
