The most peculiar galaxies Hubble has ever seen | Episode 8

The video explores various peculiar galaxies observed by the Hubble telescope, focusing on their unique characteristics and interactions. It covers elliptical and spiral galaxies, galaxy collisions, and mergers, highlighting phenomena like star formation, black holes, and galaxy cannibalism. The video also discusses the structure of the universe, including galaxy filaments and voids.
