Hubble Captures Cosmic Dance of Tangled Galaxies

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of two interacting galaxies, MCG+05-31-045, located 390 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. The larger elliptical galaxy is pulling material from a smaller spiral galaxy, leading to new star formation in the larger galaxy while the smaller one loses its gas and spiral structure. This interaction is part of a common process in the densely packed Coma galaxy cluster, where galaxies often merge and transform into elliptical shapes.
