Galaxy is a rare and beautiful galaxy located 500 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor in this particular image we see a nearby galaxy intruding and colliding with the other one. Like a rock tossed into a lake, the collision sent a ripple of energy into space, plowing gas and dust in front of it. This intrusion created by it's neighboring galaxy created a gigantic ripple of new star formations that expands 150,000 light years across.
