Hubble sees galaxies colliding in outer space

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.

NASA probes TWINS: five years of observations of ring current Earth

Land surrounds the dynamic area, which accept the name of the magnetosphere. This area is controlled by the magnetic and electric forces coming from the sun energy and matter, as well as a variety of waves and processes that differ from those that are commonly found in terrestrial physics. Within this constantly changing magnetic "bubble" is toroidal formation of charged particles, the plane of which coincides with the plane of Earth's equator. 

Our galaxy has greater than before its diameter is ten times

The astronomers, led by John Stoke by the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA), reported that the new observations spectrograph Space Telescope "Hubble" forced them to rethink the size of the halo of spiral galaxies such as our Milky Way. So - and significantly change our estimates of their mass.

This entire glowing disc, which we used to call the Milky Way, represents only the tip of the iceberg, nine-tenths of which are lost in the darkness.
