Home > Science Infinity Galaxy or Cosmic Owl? Webb Telescope Catches 2 Ring Galaxies Colliding Solo ring galaxies are rare, so a combination of two is a special thing indeed.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently spotted a rare cosmic phenomenon known as the "Cosmic Owl". This structure is formed by the collision of two ring galaxies, each approximately 26,000 ...

The owl shape was discovered in the COSMOS field, a deep-sky region studied widely. Mingyu Li from Tsinghua University said the unusual feature stood out immediately. Each ring galaxy is around ...

The compact core of each galaxy in the images forms what is the owl's eye, while a central region of intense star formation, enhanced by younger stellar populations and nebular emission, creates ...
