    Explanation:
    Spiral galaxy NGC 3169 looks to be unraveling like a ball of cosmic yarn. It lies some 70 million light-years away, south of bright star Regulus toward the faint constellation Sextans. Wound up spiral arms are pulled out into sweeping tidal tails as NGC 3169 (left) and neighboring NGC 3166 interact gravitationally. Eventually the galaxies will merge into one, a common fate even for bright galaxies in the local universe. Drawn out stellar arcs and plumes are clear indications of the ongoing gravitational interactions across the deep and colorful galaxy group photo. The telescopic frame spans about 20 arc minutes or about 400,000 light-years at the group's estimated distance, and includes smaller, bluish NGC 3165 to the right. NGC 3169 is also known to shine across the spectrum from radio to X-rays, harboring an active galactic nucleus that is the site of a supermassive black hole.

  6. Traces of explosions in LAP1-B galaxy glimpsed by JWST, one of the missing link in cosmic evolution.

    Such stars are the key quarry that JWST was designed for - stellar orbs composed of the pristine, primordial hydrogen and helium gas that was summoned into being by the big bang. These stars are not quite the stuff that most cosmologists’ dreams are made of, but rather the sources for the atoms that made cosmologists themselves. The oxygen in your lungs, the iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, the carbon in your cells, and even the silicon in your smartphone can all be traced back to Population III stars, which blasted out heavy-metal cosmic fertilizer upon their explosive deaths. The debris from their demise coalesced to form subsequent stellar generations - Population II and Population I stars - plus planets and eventually people.

  7. Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 12, also known as NGC 2608.

    NGC 2608 is a barred spiral galaxy. Its arms are peppered by blue star clusters and red star forming regions. The arms are anchored together by the prominent horizontal central bar of the galaxy, which is crossed by brown dust lanes.
