In fact, because of its outward appearance, the presence of a central galaxy, and its connection with what looks like the spokes of a wheel, the galaxy on the right is known as the Cartwheel Galaxy. To others, however, it looks like a complicated interaction between galaxies awaiting explanation. Along with the two galaxies on the left, the Cartwheel is part of a group of galaxies about 500 million light years away in the constellation Sculptor. The large galaxy&#8217;s rim spans over 100,000 light years and is composed of star forming regions filled with extremely bright and massive stars. The Cartwheel&#8217;s ring-like shape is the result of gravitational disruption caused by a smaller galaxy passing through a large one, compressing the interstellar gas and dust and causing a star formation wave to move out like a ripple across the surface of a pond. The featured recent image of the Cartwheel Galaxy by the Webb Space Telescope reveals new details not only about where stars are forming, but also about activity near the galaxy&#8217;s central black hole. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap220824.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To some, it looks like a wheel of a cart.
