Hubble Telescope captures ethereal image of colliding galaxies
In a galaxy far, far away, a spectacular space collision is underway.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured a dreamy image of two merging galaxies in the VV-689 system. Aptly nicknamed the Angel Wing, the stunning photo shows the galaxies symmetrically aligned as they smash together, forming what looks like a galactic space-being flying against the backdrop of darkness.
NASA notes that the image is part of a citizen science project called Galaxy Zoo. The project employs the space-loving enthusiasm of volunteers who help the space agency comb through vast amounts of data and images sent back from robotic telescopes.
