APOD 3.8

In Corvus, two galaxies are colliding, ripping apart each other's gravitational powers. The dust and gas will continue to collide, but the stars will not due to huge amounts of space between them. These two galaxies have been colliding for over a hundred million years. Throughout their collision, dust pillars and molecular clouds are being compressed, causing the birth of millions of stars, many of which will be contained in clusters.
