in the universe is estimated to be at least 170 billion galaxies, and collisions happen. The milky way to crash before long, a neighbor galaxy to our Andromeda, unless you are already about to crash into.

Few collisions, however, give birth to such a ghostly vision than the space telescope Hubble took a picture of 704 million light years from Earth.

the Arp-Madore 2026-424:as listed in the destination hit in the summer hubble’s eye, and the European space agency Esa and the Us space administration, Nasa released the images now halloween greeting from space.

the phenomenon of the reason is the extraordinary just the appropriate angle in happened head-on collision, which is born of the ring of the galaxy. Those in the cosmic neighbourhood is only a few hundred.

Because bulging eyes are equal, the galaxies must have been the same size. If törmääjien would have been the size of, as usually, a large galaxy would have swallowed a little and the haunted faces was born.

Their form is the intergalactic gas, dust and star reel of pull over gauze. Ghastly blue color, in turn, is due to the fact that the tires have a lot of young hot stars. The old stars would face is saying.

Next telekooppi sees the galaxy of baby-time

the Hubble caught a rare image as part of the program, which take advantage of the normal monitoring program in the downtime. Astronomers intend to bracket the program with other galaxies in unusual interaction.

the Goal is to sufficiently support the sample in order to examine how galaxies have grown by combining. Hubble’s observations, astronomers are going to select the best monitoring items for the James Webb space telescope, which is scheduled to leave for a trip in the spring of 2021.

Webb settles to evade the Sun a half million miles from Earth. Hubble orbits the Earth about 570 km altitude.

the Esa, nasa and the Canadian space administration, the Webb is an infrared telescope, so that its gaze, too, extends far beyond the Hubble further into the past. “Webb sees the baby galaxies, the Hubble only toddlers”, illustrated by Nasa.

a Week ago, Nasa told the (switch to another service), that many times schedule late Webb had passed a crucial test. Experiments showed that the activity-position tuned to the five-layer sun shield is able to protect Webb sun’s intense radiation.

almost three decades in space puurtaneen of hubblella, too, is a promise still waiting for more interesting pictures, because its activities will continue in the next decade the mid.
