A near-infrared MIRI image captures the dynamic merger of NGC 2207 and IC 2163 galaxies. The larger NGC 2207 shows a spiral structure with bright blue star-forming regions, while IC 2163 appears distorted. Dust lanes, shockwaves, and tidal tails are visible. Colors represent different wavelengths, with blue and white indicating hotter areas and red and orange showcasing cooler dust and gas. This image offers a detailed view of galaxy interaction and star formation processes.
