Two years ago today, the Northrop Grumman-built NASA James Webb Space Telescope beamed back its first images to Earth. Today, it brings us a new portrait of Penguin and the Egg. Jointly known as Arp 142, the two galaxies made their first pass by one another between 25 million and 75 million years ago and are estimated to be about 100,000 light-years apart. Although a similar fate awaits our own Milky Way, our close call with the Andromeda Galaxy won’t come to pass for about another 4 billion years. Congratulations Webb! We look forward to many more years of science to come! 🌌 🔭 cc: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration #JWST #NASA
