Thankfully you can feast your eyes without fear on this @nasahubble image of the Medusa merger, a galaxy that is actually the collision of two galaxies formed billions of years ago. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ The streams of stars and dust, seen rising from the top of the merged galaxy, resemble the writhing snakes that Medusa, a monster in ancient Greek mythology, famously had on her head in place of hair, lending the object its intriguing name.
