Don’t cross the streams! 👻 ⁣ Thankfully, it wasn’t as bad as the Ghostbusters feared. Astronomers using NASAChandraXray found a galaxy cluster that has two streams of superheated gas crossing one another, which may lead to the creation of new structure.⁣ ⁣ Researchers discovered an enormous, comet-like tail of hot gas — spanning over 1.6 million light-years long — trailing behind a galaxy within the galaxy cluster called Zwicky 8338 (Z8338 for short). As the galaxy hurtled through space, its tail split into two streams.⁣ ⁣ This is the second pair of tails trailing behind a galaxy in this system. Previously, astronomers discovered a shorter pair of tails from a different galaxy near this latest one. This newer and longer set of tails was only seen because of a deeper observation with Chandra that revealed the fainter X-rays.⁣ ⁣ Image description: This is a composite image of two pairs of hot gas tails found inside a single galaxy cluster.
