Galaxies Colliding At 3.2 Million Kilometers Per Hour Create A Star-Forming “Sonic Boom”The JWST made Stephan's Quintet one of its five original images. The collision between one of the galaxies and three others is part of the reason the galaxies are so bright.

JWST And ALMA Spot Strange Shock Inside Stephan's QuintetA team of astronomers using ALMA and the JWST discovered a recycling plant for warm and cold molecular hydrogen gas in Stephan’s Quintet, and it’s causing mysterious things to happen. At left: Field 6, which sits at the center of the main shock wave, is recycling warm and cold hydrogen gas as a giant cloud of cold molecules is stretched out into a warm tail of molecular hydrogen over and over again. At center: Field 5 unveiled two cold gas clouds connected by a stream of warm molecular hydrogen gas characterized by a high-speed collision that is feeding the warm envelope of gas around the region. At right: Field 4 revealed a steadier, less turbulent environment where hydrogen gas collapsed, forming what scientists believe to be a small dwarf galaxy in formation.
