A new Hubble image shows an unusual triangular-shaped star-birthing frenzy fueled by a spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies. The duo of colliding galaxies is Arp 143, which contains two interacting galaxies: spiral galaxy NGC 2445 at right and NGC 2444 at left. NGC 2445 is a star-forming spiral galaxy, where thousands of stars are…

Hubble captured a monumentally energetic type of galaxy
NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope, using its Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), captured an image of a barred spiral galaxy called NGC 5728. The image beautifully showing the regions of NGC 5728 that are emitting visible and infrared light. Also known as the Seyfert galaxy, the NCG 5728 is a monumentally energetic type of galaxy. It…
