The James Webb Space Telescope #JWST has captured a pair of #galaxies distorting each other as they merge in a great galactic get-together.
The ongoing cosmic collision imaged by Webb is known as II ZW 96. It is roughly 500 million light-years from #Earth and located in the #constellation #Delphinus, according to a Nov. 30 #NASA statement.

NGC 7006
Magnitude 10.6 globular cluster located 135,000 light-years away in the constellation Delphinus. NGC 7006 appears in the science fiction novel Beyond the Farthest Star by Edgar Rice Burroughs, where it is used as a point of reference by the inhabitants of the planet Poloda to determine the approximate location of Earth.
