JWST image of Arp 269, also known as NGC 4485 and NGC 4490.

NGC 4490 (bottom left) and NGC 4485 (top right), are a pair of interacting dwarf galaxies. At 24 million light-years away, they are close enough to resolve individual stars.

This observation provides a detailed view of the bridge of red gas and stars that connects the two galaxies.
