Spectacular view of a galactic spiral: galaxy cluster collision, 2011
Low estimate
High estimate
Nasa. BIG FORMAT. Like wine in a glass, vast clouds of hot gas move through this cluster of galaxies some 480 million light-years from Earth. A huge spiral structure in the hot gas -- spanning nearly a million light-years -- is visible around the outside of the image, surrounding a giant elliptical galaxy at the center. This spiral was created when a small cluster of galaxies crashed into a larger one surrounding the central elliptical galaxy. 2011.
