One of the most important ways that galaxies evolve is through interaction with other galaxies. We see substantial evidence for collisions between smaller galaxies triggering the formation of massive luminous stars. In some cases, galaxies appear to be swallowing other galaxies whole.

Cannibalism in the Early Universe?

This galaxy, which is a strong source of radio waves, is in the southern constellation Hydra (the Water Snake), at a distance of about 10 billion light years from Earth.

Hubble Space Telescope observations of white dwarf star G238-44 has shown that it is “consuming both rocky-metallic and icy material, the ingredients of planets,” according to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
