Wow! Each shape is a group of stars. One looks like an egg. It has old stars. The Penguin is next to it. It has new stars.
They will blend into one cluster some day.
Pray: Thank God for the beauty of all the stars He made.

Three cheers for the James Webb Space Telescope! It is the largest telescope in space. NASA launched it in 2021. Now people see galaxies like these much better. Which came first, the Penguin or the Egg? The Egg did! The Egg’s movements changed the Penguin’s shape over many years. Gravity pulls the two galaxies together. Gravity is the same force that pulls you to the Earth. The Egg has aging stars. The Penguin has gas, dust, and hot, new stars.
“He determines the number of the stars. He gives to all of them their names.” (Psalm 147:4)
