A new Dazzling NASA photo of Two colliding galaxies lit up as a Christmas tree, was released Tuesday 11th December.
It shows the "Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources" knows aswell as the ULXs studding two spiral galaxies "NGC 2207 and IC 2163" which are grazing each others around 130 Millions Light-year far from Earth.


This photo is a combined data from Three Nasa Spacecraft > the Chandra X-ray Observatory (X-ray light, colored pink), the hubble space Telescope (optical lgiht, colored bule, white, Brown and orange) ans the Spitzer spance Telescope (colored red) <.


NGC 2207 and IC 2163, both galaxies are active and are exciting targets for astronomers.
To date, researchers have counted around 28 ULXs in the two galaxies, which have also been the cause of three supernova explosions over the last 15 years.


Galaxies collisions are known as intense bouts of star birth; waves generating such interactions launches coulds of gas and dust that collapses, forming star dusters; according to the researches. NIGC 2207 and IC 2163 form around 24 new suns per year compared to one to three suns per year in the Milky Way (our galaxy).


The ULXs in NGC 2207 and IC 2163 contain very young stars, lightly around 10 million years old whereas the Earth's sun, in contrast, is 5 billion years old and has passed only about halfway of its life.
