Journey to Interacting Galaxies Arp 107 in Leo Minor

Journey to Interacting Galaxies Arp 107 in Leo Minor

Enjoy this trip to Arp 107, starting with a view of the constellations Ursa Major and Leo Minor. The journey to Arp 107, seen as we pass thousands of galaxies, would take light 450 million years to complete. As we approach Arp 107, the images transition from those taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to the newest image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Webb provides new details into these interacting galaxies, including a view from its Mid-Infrared Instrument, into the supermassive black hole at the center of Arp’s disturbed spiral galaxy.
