The ongoing interaction between two galaxies 320 million light-years away has been captured in a gorgeous Hubble image.
produces a lot of high-energy light in the form of X-rays, and heat in infrared wavelengths; Hubble's image is in optical light, which dust in galactic nuclei tends to obscure.
In addition, you can clearly see streams of dust and glowing material passing between the two galaxies, likely from the lower-mass object to the higher-mass object."When two galaxies interact, gas, dust and even entire solar systems will be drawn away from one galaxy towards the other by these tidal forces,""This process can actually be seen in action in this image – delicate streams of matter have formed, visibly linking the two galaxies.
If the two galaxies draw close enough together, eventually they'll merge, their supermassive black holes coming together in a massive event that will send
