NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures what happens during a triple merger of galaxies
Three galaxies merged in a cosmic dance
The mass of dust and bright swirls of stars in the resulting image is a merger of distant galaxies IC 2431, which are 681 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Cancer.

Also, the telescope was able to capture a turbulent mixture of star formation and tidal distortion caused by the gravitational interactions of this galactic trio, writes Phys.
thick cloud of dust closes the center of this image, although light from the background galaxy pierces its outer edges.
This image is from the Hubble observation series, exploring strange and wonderful galaxies, discovered as part of the civil science project Galaxy Zoo.
Previously, astronomers have studied the largest ever study of galaxy mergers and tidal dwarf galaxies, as well as the discovery new types of compact galaxies with star formation.
