Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe merging galaxy pair NGC 4568 and NGC 4567 and supernova SN 2020fqv (callout box) (noirlab2219b).jpg |
English: This image from the Gemini North telescope in Hawai‘i reveals a pair of interacting spiral galaxies — NGC 4568 (bottom) and NGC 4567 (top) — as they begin to clash and merge. The galaxies will eventually form a single elliptical galaxy in around 500 million years. Also shown in the image is the glowing remains of a supernova that was detected in 2020. |

JPEG file comment | This image from the Gemini South telescope in Chile reveals a pair of interacting spiral galaxies — NGC 4568 (bottom) and NGC 4567 (top) — as they begin to clash and merge. The galaxies will eventually form a single elliptical galaxy in around 500 million years. Also shown in the image is the glowing remains of a supernova that was detected in 2020. |
