@Regrann from @nasa – Two become one in this Hubble Space Telescope view showing galaxy NGC 6052, located around 230 million light-years away in the constellation of Hercules. It would be reasonable to think of this as a single abnormal galaxy, and it was originally classified as such. However, it is in fact a “new” galaxy in the process of forming. Two separate galaxies have been gradually drawn together, attracted by gravity, and have collided. We now see them merging into a single structure.

As the merging process continues, individual stars are thrown out of their original orbits and placed onto entirely new paths, some very distant from the region of the collision itself. Since the stars produce the light we see, the “galaxy” now appears to have a highly chaotic shape. Eventually, this new galaxy will settle down into a stable shape, which may not resemble either of the two original galaxies.

So dope!!! #physics #ftw @fiatphysica with @repostapp.

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have just figured out a new way to predict volcanic eruptions. Using a jelly-filled tank and colored water to represent #magma (pictured here), they noticed a drop in pressure when magma spread horizontally along the bottom of the tank. That drop in pressure could drive the release of dissolved gases that cause the magma to erupt. “A pressure drop can drive the release of dissolved gases, potentially causing the magma to explode and erupt,” said team member Prof. Sandy Cruden. This sill, and its concurrent pressure drop, could be the most effective way to detect volcanic triggers yet. Cr: defwalls.com

„We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.“ – JFK
