In an astounding space scene, two galaxies pummeled through each other

Space is not nice.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a vivid image of two galaxies after a deep space collision. On the right is the dazzling galaxy NGC 2445, surrounded by stars.

What happened?

Astronomers suggest that the galaxies passed through each other, sparking the unique star-formation firestorm in the image, where thousands of stars are bursting to life on the right-hand side of the image.

They struck each other, but then they traveled through one another. The impact made the outer bands of stellar activity.

astronomer Julianne Dalcanton of the Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York and the University of Washington in Seattle said that simulations show that head-on collision between two galaxies is one way of making rings of new stars.

Dalcanton explained that this collision left a weird aftermath. There is a triangle of star formation around the galaxy. That is due to the fact that the galaxy NGC 2445 still has plenty of mass.

Dalcanton said that they are not completely free of each other yet, and their unusual interaction is making the ring into a triangle.

You can see this tugging. There is a bridge between the two galaxies. The mass of the galaxy is ripping from the other.

The evolution of the universe continues.
