Soft shells and strange star clusters appear in our #HubbleTopImage this week!⁠ ⁠ The petal-like shells 🪷 of galaxy PGC 6240 were captured in intricate detail by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, set against a sky full of distant background galaxies.⁠ ⁠ This cosmic bloom is of interest to astronomers due to its uneven structure, and the unusual clusters of stars that orbit around it — two strong indications of a galactic merger in the recent past!⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 ESA/Hubble & NASA⁠ Acknowledgement: Judy Schmidt⁠ ⁠ #ESA #Hubble
