Galaxy Mergers Aren't Always Obvious
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Mergers are a part of a galaxy's life in this Universe. Though clear signs of these mergers fade over hundreds of millions of years, evidence is still present, yet obscured, in the galaxies that experience them. The powerful JWST has made it possible to find this evidence, and it did so recently for Centaurus A.
