The image of this week of the Hubble Space Telescope shows a group of three galaxies that are so close that they are given a collective name: NGC 7764A. When the galaxies come closer together, they can interact because their gravity affects each other, making them into different shapes or even in extreme cases, merging together or destroying one of the galaxies.
Hubble scientists explained in one, “Two galaxies on the upper right of the image appear to be interacting with each other.” statementHe said, “Long trails of stars and gases give an impression that both of them have been hit only at a large speed, bowling-ball-shaped galaxies thrown into the disrese from the lower left side of the image. In fact, the conversation between the galaxies takes place with a very long period, and also moves with each other. It is possible that the space is possible that they are.”
There is also a fun fact about this special collection of galaxies that will appeal to science-Fi fans. As Hubble scientists have written, “Happy coincidence, the collective conversation between these galaxies has caused both the size to make both of the upper rights, from the point of view of our solar system, looks like a starship known as the USS Enterprise from Star Trek!”
This is not the first time an entrepreneur viewer has seen a star trek-related size in the exterior size. A few years ago, Mars reconnaissance orbiter (MRO), an orbiter who takes Martian surface photos, saw a pleasant sand tibba using its high-resolution imaging science experiment (Hyris) camera, which was the iconic starflete insignia sized.
