With its powerful, mid-infrared vision, Webb's #MIRI instrument pierced through dust in Stephan’s Quintet and revealed huge shock waves & tidal tails, gas & stars stripped from the outer regions of the galaxies by interactions. MIRI also unveiled hidden areas of star formation. The new information from MIRI provides invaluable insights into how galactic interactions may have driven galaxy evolution in the early universe. In this video 🟥 red denotes dusty, star-forming regions, as well as extremely distant, early galaxies and galaxies enshrouded in thick dust. 🟦 blue point sources show stars or star clusters without dust. Diffuse areas of blue indicate dust that has a significant amount of large hydrocarbon molecules. For small background galaxies scattered throughout the image, the 🟩 green and 🟨 yellow colours represent more distant, earlier galaxies that are rich in these hydrocarbons as well.
