Stephan’s Quintet hexagonal JWST James Webb Space Telescope

The enormous mosaic of Stephan’s Quintet is the largest image so far from James Webb Space Telescope, covering about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter. With its powerful, infrared vision and very high spatial resolution, the Webb telescope shows details never seen before of this galaxy group. Shimmering clusters of millions of young stars and areas of fresh stars feature in this image.

Stephan's Quintet is a visual grouping of five galaxies of which four form the first compact galaxy group ever discovered.

JWST James Webb Space Telescope Hexagonal Images Mosaic

Stephan's Quintet galaxies (Hickson Compact Group 92), Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. At upper left is NGC 7320, which is a foreground galaxy around 40 million light years distant in the constellation of Pegasus. The other galaxies are about 290 million light years away. They are: NGC 7319 (upper right), NGC 7317 (bottom left), and two interacting galaxies (centre) NGC 7318A (lower) and NGC 7318B (upper). The image covers an area 345,000 light years across. Image obtained in July and August 2009 by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) as part of the Hubble Servicing Mission 4 Early Release Observations (SM4 ERO).
