Webb Science Feature - Colliding Galaxies
Deep surveys by the James Webb Space Telescope will capture the full panorama of galaxy evolution, from the earliest dwarf galaxies that formed to the familiar galaxies we see today. The Webb Telescope will help us understand how the shape, structure and chemical content of galaxies change over the sweep of cosmic history.
A fully produced video feature about galaxy collisions and how the Webb Telescope will help us better understand galaxy evolution. Total run time: 3:57
