Summary
editDescriptionIllustration of Comet-Like Objects Racing Through the Cartwheel Galaxy's Core (opo9636c).tiff |
English: This artist's illustration offers a 'window seat' view of comet-like clouds of gas racing through the heart of the Cartwheel galaxy at 700,000 mph. The large orange and yellow pancake-like object is the galaxy's core, and the white streaks along its edges are the comet-like objects. The objects probably were spawned by a collision between high-speed and slow-moving material.This artist's illustration offers a 'window seat' view of comet-like clouds of gas racing through the heart of the Cartwheel galaxy at 700, 000 mph.The large orange and yellow pancake-like object is the galaxy's core, and the white streaks along its edges are the comet-like objects.
