Wells-class interplanetary vehicle - Sergio Botero

“By the dawn of the XXII century, humanity’s thirst for Deuterium and Anti-Deuterium became so immense that companies began harvesting raw Hydrogen from the gas and ice giant planets. For that purpose, thousands of interplanetary spaceship tankers that work as refineries were built in order to transport the collected gas from the atmospheres of those planets to space stations over Earth, the Moon and other locations in the Solar System.“

This galactic ghoul, captured by our Hubble Space Telescope, is actually a titanic head-on collision between two galaxies. Each “eye” is the bright core of a galaxy, one of which slammed into another. The outline of the face is a ring of young blue stars. Other clumps of new stars form a nose and mouth.

Although galaxy collisions are common most of them are not head-on smashups like this Arp-Madore system. Get spooked & find out what lies inside this ghostly apparition, here.
