The distant galaxy is seen in this colorful Hubble\/Chandra composite image through a foreground of the Milky Way&#8217;s stars toward the southern constellation Triangulum Australe. As the spiral speeds along at nearly 7 million kilometers per hour, its gas and dust are stripped away when ram pressure with the cluster&#8217;s own hot, tenuous intracluster medium overcomes the galaxy&#8217;s gravity. Evident in Hubble&#8217;s near visible light data, bright star clusters have formed in the stripped material along the short, trailing blue streaks. Chandra&#8217;s X-ray data shows off the enormous extent of the heated, stripped gas as diffuse, darker blue trails stretching over 400,000 light-years toward the bottom right. The significant loss of dust and gas will make new star formation difficult for this galaxy. A yellowish elliptical galaxy, lacking in star forming dust and gas, is just to the right of ESO 137-001 in the frame. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap180825.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spiral galaxy ESO 137-001 hurtles through massive galaxy cluster Abell 3627 some 220 million light years away.
