Hubble: Telescope Captures Collision Of Two Galaxies (PHOTO)

A new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two galaxies merging into one approximately 230 million light-years away from our planet, according to The Economic Times.

The image was taken using the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 that is present on the telescope. Prior to the new image, the merging galaxies were believed to be one single abnormal galaxy, but further examination has revealed that the interstellar event is actually two galaxies in the process of merging, ABC7 News reported.
