NGC 1316: After Galaxies Collide

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Astronomers act as detectives when trying to understand how strange-looking galaxies like NGC 1316 formed. This enormous elliptical galaxy includes dark dust lanes, which are usually found in spiral galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope image shows details that help reconstruct its history. Close inspection reveals fewer low-mass globular clusters than expected, suggesting it might have consumed smaller galaxies.
