Even though the James Web Telescope has already started to work its magic, the Hubble to date is still standing strong and steady. This time the Hubble has captured something that is completely unusual. The image to be particular was a head-on collision of two galaxies. So what happened after the galaxies collided? Did it create a shape? What all did the Hubble reveal? Read to know more
NGC 2445 and NGC 2444 collide
A galaxy cluster named Arp 143 is said to house two interacting galaxies. The first one is called NGC 2445 which falls on the right side. The one that the former collided with is named NGC 2555.
The photo that caught the Hubble telescope was of the collision of the aforementioned galaxies and those were some mind-blowing footage to be
honest We say so because when the collision of the galaxies occurred, Hubble revealed in its release that they formed a spectacular triangle-looking shape The formation of the triangle happened as when the galaxies intersected, a firestorm in NGC 2445 was caught which further ignited thousands of star resulting in the spectacle that has been captured
More about NGC 2444 and 2445
Although as we see that NGC 2444 and 2445 are raging against each other resulting in a cosmic tug of war; readers should know that NGC 2444 is winning this time at least Notably, NGC 2445 still has not been successful enough to an escapee from the gravitational clutches of NGC 2444 Yet, NGC 2445 is the only source of gas for the NGC 2444 The gravitational tussle between NGC 2445 is is all because of the odd shape of its counterpart Galaxy 2444 contains old stars and no new star birth because it lost its gas long ago, well before this galactic encounter
