Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
Intergalactic 'Pipeline' Funnels Matter Between Colliding galaxies. This visible-light picture, taken by The Space Telescope, reveals an intergalactic 'pipeline' of material flowing between two battered galaxies that bumped into each other about 100 million years ago. The pipeline [the dark string of matter] begins in NGC 1410 [the galaxy at left], crosses over 20,000 light-years of intergalactic space, and wraps around NGC 1409 [the companion galaxy at right] like a ribbon around a package.
