The Hubble Space Telescope caught this image...

I saw this as an article in Astronomy Magazine and thought I would share it with all of you... I found several videos of this galactic coupling, but I think the one I used is the best one...

There are occasions in outer space where Galaxies collide and in this instance, there is a galaxy formation about 700 (+/-) Light years away which has turned into what is called a ring galaxy, which was formed by the collision of two like sized galaxies wherein the central regions, or bulges, of the galaxies glows very brightly like big supernatural eyes. Gas, cosmic dust, and starts in the galaxies' arms have been twisted around by gravitational forces, forming a bluish colored "RIng" structure... These two galaxies wil eventually merge into one very large galaxy, but it will take some 1-Billion to 2-Billion years to have merged completely...

As noted above, the Hubble Space Telescope targeted and caught this image of the merging galaxies...

I hope you enjoyed the short video and brief explanation...
