Galaxies are smashing into each other all over this cluster
This is the Hercules galaxy clustering , site relatively tight to us at just 500 million light - year off . But the direction its galaxies are clash with each other pull in it look like a throwback to the chaos of the early creation . This unexampled double from the European Southern Observatory devote us our best look yet at this unusual clump . Its overall pattern is very different from nearby extragalactic nebula clusters , and its member galaxies are generally immature and still forming hotshot , with none of the big , ancient elliptical galaxies that are typical in the clusters around it ....
