Mid-infrared data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (in white, gray, and red) and X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (in blue) come together in this photo of colliding spiral galaxies released on Dec. 1, 2025. The pair grazed one another millions of years ago; billions of years in the future, they will merge into a single galaxy.

这张于2025年12月1日发布的图像将来自詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜的中红外数据（以白色、灰色和红色呈现）与来自钱德拉X射线天文台的X射线数据（以蓝色呈现）融合在一起，展示了一对正在相互碰撞的旋涡星系。这对星系在数百万年前曾擦肩而过；而在数十亿年后的未来，它们将并合成一个单一的星系。
