Summary[edit]

Description

Two galaxies and two telescopes come together in this image of galaxy pair VV 191, merging Hubble’s ultraviolet and visible-light view with Webb’s infrared vision.

The box highlights a distant, gravitationally lensed (magnified and warped) galaxy that appears as a stretched red arc around 10 o’clock and again as a tiny red dot at 4 o’clock at the core of the elliptical galaxy. This distant galaxy is so faint it was only identified with Webb.
