This violent encounter gives the system an arresting ring structure, but only for a short amount of time. The crash has pulled and stretched the galaxies\u2019 discs of gas, dust, and stars outward, forming the ring of intense star formation that shapes the \u201cnose\u201d and \u201cface\u201d features of the system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sci.esa.int\/web\/hubble\/-\/hubble-captures-cosmic-face-heic1919\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2019\/10\/Hubble_captures_cosmic_face\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Hubble captures cosmic face<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ESA Top Multimedia&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In celebration of Halloween, this new image from the NASA\/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures two galaxies of equal size in a collision that appears to resemble a ghostly face.
