Pearl chain connects 2 galaxies

Astronomers say this impressive structure is in fact the two giant galaxies in progress.

The structure extends to 100,000 light-years that look like a string of pearls bounded around the core of two conflicting galaxies.

Astronomers still do not know how to explain the emergence of an unprecedented structure, as well as its ultimate destiny.

'We were surprised to discover this beautiful form, and perhaps it will be short-lived (about 10 million years, just a moment compared to the process of galaxies' , according to Space. .com quoted Grant Tremblay of South Europe Observatory in Garching, Germany.

Previously, experts observed the phenomenon of 'pearl chains' in the branches of spiral galaxies and on interconnected galaxies.

However, this is the first time this super-galactic structure appears in elliptical galaxies that are joined together.
