THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE CRUSHES ALL -- WHEN TWO GALAXIES COLLIDE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a Hubble image of NGC 7714, a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth.⁣ 🔭+📸: ESA (European Space Agency) & NASA⁣.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth — a relatively close neighbour in cosmic terms.

The galaxy has witnessed some violent and dramatic events in its recent past. Tell-tale signs of this brutality can be seen in NGC 7714's strangely shaped arms, and in the smoky golden haze that stretches out from the galactic centre — caused by an ongoing merger with its smaller galactic companion NGC 7715..."

This image of NGC 7714, taken by Hubble, shows the effect of an interaction between galaxies. An encounter with NGC 7715, which lies to the left, off frame, started a bout of star formation, seen in the blue arcs around this galaxy’s center: https://bit.ly/4cyLAjj

Explanation: Is this galaxy jumping through a giant ring of stars? Probably not. Although the precise dynamics behind the featured image is yet unclear, what is clear is that the pictured galaxy, NGC 7714, has been stretched and distorted by a recent collision with a neighboring galaxy. This smaller neighbor, NGC 7715, situated off to the left of the frame, is thought to have charged right through NGC 7714. Observations indicate that the golden ring pictured is composed of millions of older Sun-like stars that are likely co-moving with the interior bluer stars. In contrast, the bright center of NGC 7714 appears to be undergoing a burst of new star formation. The featured image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 7714 is located about 130 million light years away toward the constellation of the Two Fish (Pisces). The interactions between these galaxies likely started about 150 million years ago and should continue for several hundred million years more, after which a single central galaxy may result.

𝑵𝑮𝑪 7714

NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth — a relatively close neighbour in cosmic terms.

The galaxy has witnessed some violent and dramatic events in its recent past. Tell-tale signs of this brutality can be seen in NGC 7714's strangely shaped arms, and in the smoky golden haze that stretches out from the galactic centre — caused by an ongoing merger with its smaller galactic companion NGC 7715, which is out of the frame of this image.

ARP 284 a Galactic Merger in Pisces

Here is a pair of galaxies from the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, this one designated ARP 284 and showing the results of NGC 7714 and NGC 7715 interacting with each other causing a violent and dramatic change in both galaxy shapes. You can see the bridge of stars allowing material to transfer from the smaller galaxy to the larger one. The magnitudes of these galaxies are listed as 13 and 15 in…

NGC 7714: Un’esplosione di stelle dopo una collisione galattica

Questa galassia sta passando attraverso un gigantesco anello di stelle? Probabilmente no. Anche se la dinamica precisa dietro l’immagine presentata non è ancora chiara, ciò che è chiaro è che la galassia raffigurata, NGC 7714, è stata allungata e distorta da una recente collisione con una galassia vicina. Questa vicina più piccola, NGC 7715, situato alla sinistra del riquadro in primo piano, si…
