NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of Arp 220, a merger of galaxies more than 700 million years old and with a luminosity of more than a trillion suns.
Four volunteers will live in NASA's Mars habitat for one year, helping the space center collect data for its first mission to the planet in outer space.merging galaxies some 700 million years in the making.
Located 250 million light-years away in a constellation of Serpens, the name"Arp 220" derives its name from being the 220th object in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, which was produced by the astronomer Halton Arp in 1966.
