Personally, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve beat the beauty of Webb\u2019s \u201cCosmic Cliffs\u201d image, but the unique look of The Cartwheel galaxy shines bright in the current lineup of Webb images.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cartwheel galaxy is shaped like an old wagon wheel, hence the name. It\u2019s a spiral galaxy. However, it has collided with another galaxy, forming this shape we don\u2019t see often. The photo taken by Webb depicts Cartwheel and two other companion galaxies and is being used to study the galaxy\u2019s star formation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peering through the dust, Webb can see the structure of stars in both the center mass of older stars and the outside ring of younger ones. The outer ring is moving outward, and stars are formed as it collides with other collections of gas. At the galaxy\u2019s center is a mass of not just older stars but a black hole, which has become common since one was discovered in the center of our galaxy.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-31970',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other observatories have taken a look at The Cartwheel galaxy, including Hubble. However, Webb\u2019s near and mid-infrared capabilities have been the first to get a detailed look beyond the gas that surrounds Cartwheel. This wavelength allows researchers to get a better look at what is all going on in the hectic dance of two colliding galaxies.<\/p>\n<figure data-carousel-extra=\"{&quot;blog_id&quot;:10,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/2022\/08\/03\/james-webb-telescope-releases-newest-color-image-of-the-cartwheel-galaxy\/&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"906\" data-attachment-id=\"31978\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/2022\/08\/03\/james-webb-telescope-releases-newest-color-image-of-the-cartwheel-galaxy\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" data-orig-size=\"985,906\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"webb cartwheel galaxy near infrared\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=985\" data-id=\"31978\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg\" alt=\"jame Webb space telescope cartwheel galaxy near infrared\" class=\"wp-image-31978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg 985w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?resize=300,276 300w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?resize=768,706 768w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?resize=350,322 350w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?resize=140,129 140w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-galaxy-near-infrared.jpg?resize=150,138 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\"><figcaption>Near-infrared<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31979\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/2022\/08\/03\/james-webb-telescope-releases-newest-color-image-of-the-cartwheel-galaxy\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" data-orig-size=\"1112,1176\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"webb carwheel mid infrared\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=968\" height=\"1024\" width=\"968\" data-id=\"31979\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg 1112w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=284,300 284w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=768,812 768w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=968,1024 968w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=331,350 331w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=140,148 140w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=946,1000 946w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-carwheel-mid-infrared.jpg?resize=150,159 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\"><figcaption>Mid-infrared<\/figcaption><\/figure><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">The Cartwheel Galaxy taken by The James Webb Space Telescope.

Below is a comparison between Hubble\u2019s Cartwheel image and Webb\u2019s image. Remember that Hubble\u2019s image (left) is more focused on the visible light (what humans can see), and Webb\u2019s image (right) is focused on infrared light and is a false color image.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-image-compare\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/hubble-cartwheel-compare.jpg\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/08\/webb-cartwheel-compare.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see that Webb can capture way more galaxies. This is thanks to its larger mirror and infrared focus, as most of those galaxies are so redshifted (the process of light being stretched out) and Hubble\u2019s sensors can\u2019t see them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just the beginning of Webb images to be released.
