James Webb takes a stunning photo of the Chariot Galaxy

The US space agency “NASA” has published a rare and amazing image of a galaxy 500 million light-years away, the Chariot Wheel Galaxy, whose rings appear in unprecedented clarity thanks to the new James Webb Space Telescope. Astronomers believe that the Cartwheel galaxy was originally a spiral galaxy, like the Milky Way, which includes the Earth, but a major event gave it its shape, which is the collision with another smaller galaxy. This led to the formation of two rings from the main point of the collision, in the manner of circular ripples caused by throwing a pebble into the water, hence the name.
