Hubble Space Telescope captures stunning image of merging galaxies, NASA shares details

The Hubble Space Telescope shot a mesmerizing image of two faraway galaxies colliding and merging with each other and NASA has shared the details.

While we talk about the capabilities of the new James Webb Space Telescope, there is the old Hubble Space Telescope, which has continuously shocked us with mind-blowing revelations and findings. 

In a recent discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope photographed two merging galaxies at a very crucial stage.

According to reports, the spiral galaxies are named UGC 05028 and UGC 05029 which are currently in the process of colliding and merging.

NASA said, "Likely due to its gravitational dance with its larger partner, UGC 05028 has an asymmetric, irregular structure, which is not as visible from ground-based telescopes.”

As they are spiral galaxies, they appear to be in a circular and disc-shaped structure in the captured image. 

Experts believe that once the merger is complete, UGC 05028 will fully absorb the remnants of the other galaxy.

Additionally, it is speculated that one awe-inspiring event that will also occur is star formation. As galaxies collide, gases get compressed and heated, creating ideal conditions for new stars to be born.

Therefore, studying the merger of UGC 05028 and UGC 05029 will help researchers understand the universe's evolution.

Additionally, it will also reveal how galaxies evolve and change over time and the dynamics of star formation.

With the merging of galaxies, the Hubble Space Telescope also captures its neighbouring objects and galaxies
