text:
The object ZW II 96 is a pair of galaxies that are merging. It is in the constellation Delphinus, about 500 million light-years from Earth. The shape of the merging galaxies is unusual; a number of powerful young starburst regions hang as long, threadlike structures between the main galaxy cores. The system is relatively luminous, but has not yet reached the late stage of coalescence that is typical for most ultraluminous systems. The photograph is from a collection of 59 images of merging galax
