AM1054: Stars Form as Galaxies Collide
When galaxies collide, new stars are born. In AM1054-325, millions of stars are forming as it interacts with a nearby galaxy. The gravitational pull ignites stellar creation in the gaseous debris stretching from AM1054-325's yellowish body. Hydrogen gas around these newborn stars glows brightly.
