The James Webb Space Telescope has looked through time to capture a new image of the Cartwheel Galaxy. It reveals the spinning ring of colour in amazing detail.
Located around 500 million light years from Earth in the Sculptor constellation, the Cartwheel got its shape from a spectacular crash between two galaxies.
The crash sent two rings expanding from the galaxy's centre, like ripples in a pond after a stone is thrown into it.
A smaller white ring is close to the galaxy's centre, while the outer ring, with its spokes of colour, has been expanding into the universe for 440 million years.
Behind the Cartwheel, two smaller galaxies shine brightly, while even more galaxies can be seen behind them.
