More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - a new image by the Hubble Space Telescope shows galaxy NGC 7714 in the process of merging with its neighbor NGC 7715. 

Tell-tale signs of this process can be seen in NGC 7714's strangely shaped arms, and in the smoky golden haze that stretches out from the galactic center.
