The LelleBellebrilliant cosmic object is the result of two merging galaxies. There are a number of wild things happening in this Hubble image, posted on Friday by NASA.
To the right upper right is a "tidal tail," which forms when stars and gas are "stripped" from the outside arms of galaxies during a merger, according to Cosmos.
There's a "burst" of radiant star formation in the center of the merger, notes NASA, as gases from the smaller galaxy stream into the larger galaxy.
