❗⁣ Our nasachandraxray and nasahubble telescopes combined their data to make this image, which shows two galaxies in the early stages of interacting. From this angle, the galaxy pair looks like an exclamation mark! The duo, also known as Arp 302, will merge in millions of years. X-ray data from Chandra shows that the top galaxy (the stem of the exclamation mark) contains a rapidly growing supermassive black hole that is heavily obscured by dust and gas. Other data shows that the two interacting galaxies are evolving at different rates.⁣ ⁣ #NASA #Punctuation #Space
