NASA just published a spectacular new cosmic image of two galaxies merging. The cosmic dance was captured from two telescopes. The post was uploaded to mark the James Webb Space Telescope's second anniversary of operations. The image, which was released on Friday, depicts two merging galaxies, known as Arp 142. They have been nicknamed ‘the Penguin and the Egg.’ The ‘penguin’ is the faintly coiled galaxy in the centre that looks like a penguin, and the ‘egg’ is a galaxy on the left that is shaped like an egg.

Two incredible views of two galaxies from two telescopes!
Hubble previously studied Arp 142, also known as the Penguin and the Egg. For the second science anniversary of @NASAWebb, infrared observations shine new light on this interacting galaxy pair. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/3VoTjWwmB6
