NASA reveals the fusion of two galaxies by gravity

A pair of gravity-related galaxies, NGC 6052, joined the constellation Hercules 230 million light-years from Earth, where the Hubble Space Telescope captured an image.

These galaxies were first discovered in 1784 by William Herschel, originally classified as a unique and irregular galaxy because of its strange form, but recently revealed information confirms that it is not the case and that it is a pair of galaxies. Both galaxies under the influence of gravity.

"The galaxies have long reunited the two galaxies in this anarchic state that we are seeing now," he said. "The stars are now following new paths because of gravity changes, and they will eventually be fully integrated to form a single stable galaxy."

"This may seem like a big disaster, but since galaxies are often empty, interstellar collisions are rare," NASA said.

"As the stars produce the light we see, the galaxy now looks very chaotic," ESA said. "This new galaxy will eventually settle into a form that might not look like any of the original galaxies."

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), responsible for the US Space Program, established in 1957 and with annual funding of $ 16 billion.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is an international organization dedicated to space exploration with 22 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Canada and Finland are members. It was founded on May 30, 1975 and is based in Paris.
