Irregular galaxy

A cosmic collision in action. Read more about what happens when 2 galaxies sideswipe each other.

The image above shows a pair of intertwined galaxies known as NGC 6052, located some 230 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules the Son of Zues (aka the Strongman). Though these dueling dynamos were initially discovered way back in 1784 by none other than the famed astronomer William Herschel (the man who discovered Uranus), at the time, they were thought to be a single, oddly shaped irregular galaxy.

A nearby dwarf irregular galaxy that would seem to have a bit of star formation going on, as denoted by the puffs of wispy blue clouds dotting the galaxy. In a visible light image they would appear as pinkish nebulas. I love how it seems to fit perfectly on the detector. The Geometry and Kinematics of the Local Volume Red: ACS/WFC F814W (jc9v0v020_drz) Green: Pseudo Blue: ACS/WFC F606W (jc9v0v010_drz) North is NOT up. It is 17.42° counter-clockwise from up.
