... Comet-like Clouds in the Cartwheel Galaxy . ... Credit Copyright: C.Struck and P.Appleton ( ISU ), K.Borne ( Hughes STX ), and R.Lucas ( STScI ), NASA Explanation: In a cartwheel-shaped galaxy far, far away, huge comet-shaped clouds of gas have been discovered racing through the nucleus at about 700,000 miles per hour. The aptly named Cartwheel Galaxy is actually about 500 million light years distant, its suggestive shape created by a head-on collision with a smaller galaxy . ...
