During this process, the galaxies attract each other after which they begin to tear each other apart using their respective gravitational forces. This impressive phenomenon is quite common in the universe and all large galaxies, which were formed as a result of similar mergers.
“The NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope has captured what appears to be an ongoing triple galaxy merger, as well as a tumultuous mix of star formation and tidal distortions caused by the gravitational interactions of this galactic trio. A thick cloud of dust obscures the center of the image, but light from the background galaxy passes through its edges,” explains NASA.
These objects, located in the constellation of Hercules, were photographed by Hubble according to Digital Trends. There are three main objects: the huge galaxy LEDA 58109 in the upper right. The more distant of these two objects is the galaxy SDSS J162557.25+435743.5, named after the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and in front of it is an active galactic nucleus called SDSS J162558.14+435746.4.
