Hubble and Webb Team Up to Reveal ‘Bloody Eyes’ Glaring at Earth

Two spiral galaxies take the shape of a colorful beaded mask that sits above the nose. The galaxy at left, IC 2163, is smaller, taking up a little over a quarter of the view. The galaxy at right, NGC 2207, takes up half the view, with its spiral arms reaching the edges

The two galaxies are inching closer together before they merge, a process that will take millions of years.
