Galaxies Collide in NGC 3256
NGC 3256 is not a typical galaxy. It shows two galaxies in the process of colliding, a slow process that will likely result in one larger galaxy over hundreds of millions of years. The image reveals intricate filaments of dark dust, unusual tidal tails of stars, and two distinct nuclei. While stars rarely collide directly, the gas, dust, and magnetic fields interact significantly.
