 Infinity Galaxy (NIRCam) with Radio Emission Contour Map (VLA)

Caption

This image of the Infinity Galaxy from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam is overlayed with a contour map of data from the Very Large Array radio telescope. The center pinpoint of radio emission perfectly lines up with the center of the glowing gas detected in the infrared in between the two nuclei of the galaxies. The detection of radio emission from supermassive black holes informs researchers about the energetics of the object, specifically how it is pulling in surrounding material.
