Webb telescope captures outskirts of Milky Way in 'unprecedented' detail: See photo
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope depicts the "extreme outer galaxy" in unprecedented detail, NASA researchers say.
NASA’s Webb Peers into the Extreme Outer Galaxy
Astronomers have directed NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to examine the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists call this region the Extreme Outer Galaxy due to its location more than 58,000 light-years away from the Galactic Center.

The James Webb Space Telescope has imaged a collision between two galaxies that appears to have created a beaming smile in space.
NASA's James Webb telescope captures collision of two galaxies
NASA announced on September 18 their James Webb Space Telescope had captured another collision between two galaxies. The region of space is called Arp 107, the image shows an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy in the middle of merging hundreds of millions of years ago.
The James Webb Space Telescope Offers a Deeper Look Into Galactic Collisions in Arp 107
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of Arp 107, a pair of galaxies in the midst of a collision 465 million light-years from Earth. This event, which began hundreds of millions of years ago,
Webb Telescope provides another look into galactic collisions
An interaction between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy, collectively known as Arp 107, seems to have given the spiral a happier outlook thanks to the two bright "eyes" and the wide semicircular "smile.
