Astronomers took pictures of the galaxy NGC 2442 in high definition. Pictures and a brief description are available at the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
Star Cluster of unusual S-shape - like a flying fish - is located in the southern hemisphere of the sky. Strange shape of the galaxy is the result of its collision with another star clusters, which happened in the past. This event launched the active processes of star formation in some parts of the galaxy.
Recently, another team of astronomers has received pictures of two galaxies that are on the verge of collision. Star clustershave 50,000 light-years between, but they have already begun to provide each other the gravitational influence.
