오늘은 NASA에서 어떤 우주의 모습을 보여주는지 궁금합니다.

이 사진의 제목은 The Heart Shaped Antennae Galaxies 입니다. 

NASA에서의 공식적으로 제공한 설명을 보시죠.

 

<Are these two galaxies really attracted to each other? Yes, gravitationally, and the result appears as an enormous iconic heart -- at least for now. Pictured is the pair of galaxies cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039,known as the Antennae Galaxies. Because they are only 60 million light years away, close by intergalactic standards, the pair is one of the best studied interacting galaxies on the night sky. Their strong attraction began about a billion years ago when they passed unusually close to each other. As the two galaxies interact, their stars rarely collide, but new stars are formed when their interstellar gases crash together. Some new stars have already formed, for example, in the long antennae seen extending out from the sides of the dancing duo. By the time the galaxy merger is complete, likely over a billion years from now, billions of new stars may have formed. Open Science: Browse 3,300+ codes in the Astrophysics Source Code Library;
