Space Telescope NASA /
European Space Agency "Hubble" recently made this
beautiful picture a pair of interacting galaxies known as Arp 142. When two
galaxies approach each other so closely that they begin to interact with each
other, they both appear spectacular changes. In some cases, two galaxies can
come together, and in the other - on the contrary, to be ripped.
Just below the center
of this picture is blue, "tangled" galaxy NGC 2936, one of the two
interacting galaxies that form Arp 142 in the constellation Hydra. Amateur
astronomers dubbed "Penguin" or "Dolphin», NGC 2936 was
previously the standard spiral galaxy, which tore apart the gravity of its
companion space.
The remains of its
spiral structure is still possible to consider - the structure, formerly the
galactic bulge, now forms the "eye" of a penguin, around which are
still visible education, which were previously spiral arms of the galaxy. These
now form the sleeves ripped "body" Birds Space as bright red and blue
stripe running along the picture. These bands are bent in the direction of the
companion NGC 2936 - an elliptical galaxy NGC 2937, which is visible in the
image as white oval.
