NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has taken a superb new high-resolution image of stellar gymnastics in the rare Cartwheel Galaxy on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.

Cartwheel Galaxy was formed by a chaotic cosmic collision. James Webb travels back in time, captures a black hole and new stars in the strange Cartwheel Galaxy.

The Cartwheel Galaxy, located in the Sculptor constellation, is about 500 million light years away and measures about 150,000 light years across. It is a rare "Ring Galaxy".
