NASA's Hubble space telescope captured the moment when three galaxies faced each other and even created extraordinary images.
LiveScience (2/1) reported that the cosmic collision was known as a combination of three galaxies. This happened when three galaxies slowly pulled each other until they finally approached, then they tore each other apart because of every galaxy gravity pull.
Combining like this is common throughout the universe and all significant galaxies, including galaxies inhabited by humans on earth, Milky Way. These galaxies were formed due to a cruel merger that took place billions of years ago.
At first glance, the three galaxy meetings looked chaotic and seemed to be scattered. However, this event was the beginning of the formation of a new galaxy.
This happens due to gas from three galaxies colliding. The gas then condenses and forms a vast ocean. This material comes from the formation of new stars, creating a new galaxy center.
Some stars also survived a collision. They are still intact without injury at all. That's because the gravitational force is different from each galaxy. So they don't collide with each other.
Meanwhile, NASA said that the Galaxy Cluster captured by the Hubble lens called IC 2431 is located about 681 million light-years from the earth in the constellation of cancer. NASA astronomers can detect collisions thanks to the help of a space group called Galaxy Zoo, which holds an event.
This event, which invites more than 100,000 volunteers, a secret image of 900,000 galaxies captured by Hubble telescopes that have never been thoroughly examined.
NASA also appreciated this activity because they had succeeded in identifying the extraordinary phenomenon that NASA had not found for years. Not only that, but this event also produced some strange and exciting discoveries.
