The information
galaxies eat each other, known to astronomers for a long time. Scientists
for years to collect evidence of such a “galactic cannibalism”, and a neat
coil, located inside the nearby elliptical galaxies, are yet another indication
that such processes are very common in the universe.
Some time ago, a team
of astronomers using a telescope Sub-Millimeter Array (SMA), found in our
nearest active elliptical galaxy Centaurs a small spiral rotating gas with
properties similar to those of a spiral galaxy.
Canonical approach to
the classification of galaxies, called the "Hubble tuning fork",
refers to the separation of the variety of existing forms of elliptical
galaxies and spiral, and then dividing the class into subclasses of spiral galaxies
barred spiral galaxy without it. It is assumed that in spiral galaxies are
active star formation, and elliptical galaxies are "dying."
However, observations
show that the absorption of "dying" young elliptical galaxy spiral
galaxy returns dying monster to life. At least for a while...
