Anatomia de um pássaro: a fusão de galáxias!


Foto: Melo Be post us this amazing image with this covering link and text - 'Anatomy of a Bird: the merging of Galaxies! Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, an international team of astronomers has discovered a stunning rare case of a triple merger of galaxies. This system, which astronomers have dubbed 'The Bird' - albeit it also bears resemblance with a cosmic "Tinker Bell" is composed of two massive spiral galaxies and a third irregular galaxy.
The galaxy, ESO 593-IG 008, or IRAS 19115-2124, was previously merely known as an interacting pair of galaxies at a distance of 650 million light-years. But surprises were revealed by observations made with the NACO instrument attached to ESO's VLT, which peered through the all-pervasive dust clouds, using adaptive optics to resolve the finest details.
