These two large galaxies are colliding 60 million light-years | Did you know?
These two large galaxies are colliding 60 million light-years away! These are the Antennae Galaxies and they’re one of the first research images from the Super Pressure Balloon Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) that launched on a scientific super pressure balloon April 16, 2023 (local time New Zealand).
This image was captured as the balloon-borne telescope floated at 108,000 feet above Earth’s surface, allowing scientists to view these scientific targets from a balloon platform in a near-space environment.
