James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) infrared image of Stephan’s Quintet, a group of five galaxies including NGC 7320, NGC 7318a, NGC 7318b, NGC 7319, and NGC 7317. The image reveals intricate details of galactic interactions, shockwaves, and star-forming regions, with vibrant pink and purple hues highlighting cosmic dust and stellar activity. Captured using NIRCam and MIRI instruments, this image showcases the dynamic and chaotic environment of colliding galaxies. Credits: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/Jackie Branc.

Stephan’s Quintet: Webb’s view of this compact group of galaxies, located in the constellation Pegasus, pierced through the shroud of dust surrounding the center of one galaxy, to reveal the velocity and composition of the gas near its supermassive black hole. Now, scientists can get a rare look, in unprecedented detail, at how interacting galaxies are triggering star formation in each other and how the gas in these galaxies is being disturbed.
