Two galaxies collide, producing a series of strange stars

NASA / ESA's Hubble hunter captures spectacular spectacle and may be our future image, when the Milky Way galaxy collides with neighbors.

NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope (US Aerospace Agency and European Space Agency) captured the strange image of an irregular galaxy named NGC 4485 30 million light-years from Earth . The steps to show that strange object can be a space "battlefield"

According to NASA's new official announcement, the strange object we see has experienced a huge disaster: a galaxy collision. NGC 4485 itself is a common spiral galaxy but it has been collided long ago by a larger galaxy called NGC 4490. This disaster was so big that it destroyed its spiral structure and turned into an irregular galaxy.

At the time of observation, two galaxies are leaving each other after the clash that astronomers like "destructive dance".

However, this time, NASA and ESA discovered a strange phenomenon. These two space giants created a line of matter about 25,000 light-years across the two galaxies. It is a stream made up of light knots and huge gas pockets, and more important than large star-forming areas, where a new generation of stars is forming. The "child" stars of these two galaxies are huge and blue.

However, this type of star will quickly run out of fuel and end life in terrible explosions. These explosions will provide rich materials for the cosmic environment to form a more sustainable new generation of stars.

The image above may have many similarities with our future 2 billion years. According to a study by the University of Durham University (UK) earlier this year, Large Magellanic Cloud, the neighboring galaxy of the Earth's Miky Way galaxy is rushing towards the Milky Way and colliding in the next 2 billion years. The collision could push the Earth out of the life zone of Goldilocks and wake up the black hole Sagittarius A * sleeping in the middle of the Milky Way.
