Fittingly for a celebration of the JWST's two years of science results, the new image is a two-for-two.
The fact that the Penguin and its egg are relatively the same mass has prevented one galaxy from simply devouring the other.Of course, NASA couldn't throw a party for the JWST if only two galaxies rolled up.
