Animation: A Spiral Galaxy Experiencing Ram Pressure Stripping | NASA/ESA
This artist's illustration shows a spiral galaxy as it moves through
a massive cluster of galaxies. The galaxy is undergoing a process known
as ram pressure stripping, where streaks of bright gas are being
dragged out into space by the cluster it is passing through.
