JWST and Hubble image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, or the Penguin and the Egg.
In Hubble’s visible light view (left), a dark dust lane begins across the Penguin’s beak and extends through its body. In JWST’s near-infrared view (right), the dust is much fainter. A bridge of stars and gas connects the galaxies in the JWST image, and there is a gap with Hubble.

1. Frame is split down the middle: Hubble’s visible light image at left, and Webb’s near-infrared image at right. Both show the Egg at left and the Penguin at right. In Hubble’s view, the Penguin is highly detailed, with a bright blue beak, body, and tail that is covered in an arc of bright brown dust. The Egg, to its left, appears bright, gleaming yellowish white. At top right is another galaxy seen from the side, about as long as the Egg’s height. Dozens of galaxies and stars appear in the background. Webb’s near-infrared image shows the Penguin’s beak, head, and back in shades of pink. It’s tail-like region is more diffuse, and a mix of lighter pinks and blues. The Egg appears slightly larger in blue layers. A semi-transparent blue forms an upside down U over top of both galaxies. At top right, an edge-on galaxy has many more pinpricks of light, which are stars. Thousands of galaxies and stars appear in the background. Some galaxies are shades of orange, while others are white.

  Interacting Galaxies Arp 142 (Hubble and Webb Image)
  
  from Scott Cranfill
  
  Two penguins, two eggs — two very different color schemes! The Hubble Space Telescope captured visible light when observing Arp 142, nicknamed the Penguin and the Egg, in 2013 . At right is the James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared light view of the same region. Both images...
