EXTREMELY LONG TAILS (ANTENNA ARMS) DRAGGING THROUGH SPACE






There
are a lot
of hot new blue
stars, expecially along
the depth axis (3D) in these galaxies




A quick
look at Stephans
quintet reveals very long
trails dragging through deep space
showing more extent of galaxy encounters
however the enhancements do not show any
obvious connect to galaxy blue which
stands isolated from the cluster
in a chance overlay of place
in foreground space quite
close to us compared
to the distance
to the others?

STEPHANS CLUSTER

Again that
imdominantly dammed
fact of two red shifts clashing
in a bash with the big bang. Recent hard
studied images of Stephans Quintet by Hubble
have led astronomers to suggest the two unsettlingly
different red shifts here are due to galaxies actually
far apart in real space but seemingly clustered in
reposing photo sessions. For this reason images
released are at their minimum of revealed
dragging dust and trailing spill
planes, both of which appear
in abundance where the
image is sharply and
brightly enhanced

The
arguement,
however, is not
cleared up as the whether
all of the galaxies are in the same
field and thus compose a cluster having
different red shifts. It is clear that
the upper two galaxies are waltzing,
but not all clear as to whether
the lower left galaxy, only
a portion seen in the
Hubble image, is
connected in
any way to
the others



NGC 6745   SEPARATE LIKE DIVIDING CELLS AFTER
RAPTURING EACH OTHER


Another
galaxy dragging a
long tail through space after
a collision is NGC 6745. The collision
has left a galaxy rounded almost
a fat chunk of polish
suasage



Enornous
quantities of
hot new (blue) star
births where the gavitational
drag has concentrated at the ends




A final
tether static
clinging the two ends
together in tendrils is actually
a water fall, that is, the tendrils drop
vertically from the upper end down
to the other galaxy mostly off
screen, it seems to be
telling us that
one end is
slowly
rising up
in motion relative to
the other end, the two ends drifting
apart vertically causing the water fall separation

Both Stephans, and Ngc 6745, have 'yo-yo' in appearance, caused by reshaping of a body by another sliding by sideswiping in a curve when travelling past fast.

Yo-yo(s) are seen where two or more arms wind around parallel, looking like a yo-yo, for example in Stephans quintet the yo-yo is not perfectly formed, in some collisions the yo-yo is very pronounced. Yo-yo galaxies can also have extremely long tails. See the yo-yo link starting from here.
