COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cartwheel galaxy got its distinctive shape from a head-on collision with a smaller galaxy. This image, combining visible light and radio observations, tracks the path of the intruder galaxy. The collision created a ripple effect, triggering a ring of new star formation that expands outward from the impact site.
