New Gas Bridge Between Galaxies Reveals Cosmic Matter Cycle
A new discovery from the WALLABY survey using the ASKAP telescope revealed a 160,000-light-year-long gas bridge between two dwarf galaxies, formed by tidal interactions, and a massive gas tail caused by ram pressure as the galaxies move through the Virgo cluster's hot gas, providing insights into the cosmic cycle of matter between galaxies and intergalactic space.
