In the constellation Corvus, two galaxies are colliding with each other. The bright colors seen are due to the large amounts of hydrogen, which causes a reddish pink coloration. During the collision, the gas clouds that make up much of these galaxies are smashed together, and compressed by the immense gravitational forces at work. This causes the birth of millions of stars, which will be trapped together in massive star clusters.
