A Tour of Interacting Galaxies Arp 107 in Leo Minor | Webb Telescope

This video tours Arp 107, two galaxies that collided hundreds of millions of years ago. The journey begins and ends on a new mid- and near-infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope, and includes a fade to the mid-infrared view from Webb.

Webb has captured the pair of galaxies in the process of merging. This will take hundreds of millions of years.

Arp 107 is located 465 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor.
