'Dancing galaxies' snapped by NASA's Hubble Telescope leaves netizens in awe; See pic

NASA has gifted yet ar eye candy to astromy geeks as it shared a never seen before galactic dance between two galaxies. Captured by NASA’s Hubble Telescope, photograph shared by ncy on ir official Instagram handle has already mesmerised viewers. Take a look at ‘delicate’ dance between two starry galaxies.

Although two galaxies have ir separate names, y also go by a common name of Arp 91 owing to ir proximity to each or. NASA said that  lower galaxy, which looks like a bright spot, is NGC 5953, and oval-shaped galaxy to upper right is NGC 5954. In reality, both of m are spiral galaxies, but ir shapes appear very different because of ir orientation with respect to Earth, as per NASA. However, despite  galaxies appearing to tango, y are located more than 100 million light-years from Earth.

Captioning ir Instagram post, ncy explained that  lower galaxy, NGC 5953, clearly tugs at galaxy on upper right, which appears to extend one spiral arm downward. Besides, ir shapes appear strange due to ir orientation in respect to Earth but are classified as spiral. scientists furr revealed that collision between such galaxies leads to formation of elliptical galaxies, but stated that we can expect this dance to continue for our lifetime as galaxy collisions often take place over hundreds of millions of years.

NASA accredited reason for ir interaction to immense gravitational attraction between m, but added that such gravitational interactions are common and are an important part of galactic evolution. Earlier, Hubble telescope had won internet for a spectacular visualisation video showing four of Saturn's massive constellation of 82 moons parading across face of planet.

In Instagram post, NASA pointed out  large orange moon Titan and icy Mimas of Saturn on right, and icy moons Enceladus and Dione on far left. It even added song “Time Will Tell" in background to make post even more heartfelt and epic. post was captioned, "Celebrate #InternationalMusicDay by exploring sonification. Scientists interpret data from ims by representing m in sound, creating some beautiful cosmic music!"
