2 galaxies, the Penguin and the Egg, get a family portrait thanks to Webb Telescope
![Two interacting galaxies, dubbed the Penguin and the Egg, are seen in more clarity and detail than ever, after NASA released a new image (right) from the James Webb Space Telescope. An older image from the Hubble Space Telescope is seen at left.](https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims3/default/strip/false/crop/2048x1432+0+0/resize/2048x1432!/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fa4%2F02%2Fed5639b741f7a91e7a5dd8aefdb4%2F53852308510-6e25642f3e-k.jpg)
The galaxies' fanciful names belie their actual ages: In this case of the Penguin and the Egg, it’s the Egg that came first.
