Picture of a charming dazzling
galaxy, recognized as IRAS 23436 5257, it was Space Telescope, NASA / European
Space Agency "Hubble." This galaxy is located in the northern
constellation Cassiopeia, which was named in honor of the arrogant, conceited,
but, nevertheless, a beautiful mythical queen.
Distort, like a worm
structure of this galaxy, most likely, is the result of the collision and
subsequent merger of two galaxies. These interactions are fairly common in the
universe, and they may include how to capture a small satellite galaxy spiral
arms of other galaxies and large collision between two galaxies. Friction
between the particles of gas and dust can have a significant influence on the
parties in the clash of the galaxy, changing their shape and cutting of these
fancy new structures.
Persistence, remaining
after such intergalactic collisions helps scientists understand the dynamics of
these events, which can be of great value in the study of the behavior of our
joint Milky Way galaxy, which is on a collision course with the nearby galaxy
Messier 31.
