Not much to say but WOW.

Not much to gain from the article, just a lot of warm gas. :lol:

providing striking evidence for a previously unsuspected high-speed collision between the galaxies.
yeah right.. anyway, the image is simply stunning! I`s amazing how well it fits EU!
gas within M86 is extremely hot, and radiates X-rays in a long plume, which had previously been interpreted as a tail of gas being stripped as M86 falls into the Virgo cluster.
Too bad for them that "hot" gas DOES NOT radiate in x-rays however "extreme" it may be. Well, at least in the description under the thumbnail in the article it says "ionized hydrogen". :) Haha, high-speed collisions my ass :D This image made my day!

My first impression was "that is a monster of a Birkeland current", on looking at the high res version smaller twisted filaments can be seen inside the larger structure, or so it appears. Beautifully fractal.

Anybody miss the little galaxy in the lower right spewing too? Pointing a bit left of the upper right galaxy...

Almost missed it while looking at the two biggest objects in frame... So, is it a 3-way "collision?" :P

Now that I'm inspecting more closely, the little galaxy or whatever above the right-hand large galaxy also seems to have something of a halo going on in the high res image... Kinda' funky looking? Not unlike the patterning of the interacting "hot gas," so I don't think it's just a camera artifact? Could be wrong though.

A great find, and what an excellent observation of the fractal nature there Squiz.

Looks like the two galaxies are spinning in opposites directions, which should make them attract.
Notice the orientation as well and how the two poles seem to be facing each other at a 45 degree.
Dual opposite vortex spirals that attract, did somebody say Fractal>?
