Comet-like Clouds in the Cartwheel Galaxy Credit:

The Cartwheel Galaxy's shape was created by a head-on collision with a smaller galaxy. Researchers using Hubble Space Telescope data discovered immense gaseous structures, with heads a few hundred light years across and tails thousands of light years long.
