🚀 Buckle up, space voyagers! To celebrate the James Webb Space Telescope's second anniversary, @BeyondEarthBuckleUp is setting our sights on a cosmic ballet – the merging galaxies nicknamed the Penguin and the Egg (Arp 142)!

🛰️ Webb's infrared vision unveils details invisible to our eyes, showcasing the ongoing gravitational interaction between these celestial bodies. Their dance began millions of years ago, triggering a burst of star formation in the Penguin. Over hundreds of millions more, they'll complete more loops before becoming one!

🔭 Join us on a journey beyond our galaxy as we explore this mesmerizing cosmic phenomenon. Let us know in the comments what other deep-space wonders you'd like to see Webb explore next!
