NGC 6240: When Galaxies Collide

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

When galaxies collide, as with NGC 6240, stars rarely hit each other directly. Instead, the gravitational forces distort the galaxies' structures, compressing gas and dust. This compression often triggers new star formation, creating brilliant regions of energetic gas and light.
