An incredible new space picture shows the universe seemingly staring back at us.

NASA's Webb and Hubble telescopes have been examining a pair of galaxies that resemble cosmic eyes. By teaming up, the two telescopes have delivered the highest resolution image of IC 2163 and NGC 2207 to date in a combination of mid-infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light.

Hubble's ultraviolet and visible-light observation of the spiral galaxies revealed bright blue glowing arms and the galaxies cores in orange. In the James Webb Space Telescope's mid-infrared observation, cold dust takes centre stage, casting the galaxies arms in white. They two images were then combined to deliver the full picture.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said: "The long, ghastly "stare" of their searing eye-like cores shines out into the supreme cosmic darkness."

They added: "The smaller galaxy to the left, IC 2163, has 'slithered' behind the larger one at right, NGC 2207, millions of years ago.

"Though we can't wait around for millions of years to see what may happen next, researchers can use this crisp combination of mid-infrared light from Webb, and ultraviolet and visible light from Hubble to learn more about the pair, and improve models that may preview the galaxies' upcoming 'thrills'."
