Title: Galaxy Being Ripped Apart - Hubblecast 01 View count: 6616 Rating: 3.9940476 (168 ratings) Description: Astronomy videos: http://www.atheism-magazine.com/topics/Space_NASA_ESA_ESO.html 'Comet Galaxy' Being Ripped Apart By Galaxy Cluster - Hubblecast 01 Subscribe to Science & Reason: • http://www.YouTube.com/Best0fScience • http://www.YouTube.com/SagansCosmos • http://www.YouTube.com/FFreeThinker • http://www.YouTube.com/WissensMagazin The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years.
