ncg1232 collides with Dwarf Galaxy



Last week NASA recorded two galaxies crashing into each other 60 million light-years away from earth. The Chandra observatory caught x-ray images of the large galaxy called NCG1232 engulfing the smaller dwarf galaxy to create a giant cloud of gas made of hydrogen. The video below gives more details of what happens when galaxies collides.
