The observations offer a window into the past to better understand how globular clusters may have formed.
The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a 250,000-light-year-long 'bridge of stars' stretching through the Arp 295 galactic grouping that was pulled away from one galaxy as it interacted with another.
Reminiscent of the Eye of Sauron and psychedelic whirlpools, the new images reveal never-before-seen details of galaxies.
The two galaxies shown in the image, NGC 6040 and LEDA 59642, are so close that they are interacting and have a shared name as a pair, Arp 122.
A powerful radio burst detected in 2022 originated from a rare “blob” of seven galaxies located 8 billion light-years from Earth, according to new research.
