Galaxy Merging

Artist’s impression of the interacting galaxies observed in this research. The gravitational interactions during the merger trigger both starburst and quasar activity.

Galaxy Merger Reveals Birth of Cosmic ‘Monster’ 12.8 Billion Years Ago

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space
Astronomers from an international team have used the James Webb Space Telescope to reveal, for the first time, the exact location of the source powering colliding galaxies. Curiously, this source lies outside of the main parts of the galaxies and is not visible at all in the ultraviolet or visible light observed with the Hubble Space Telescope.
