Q. Which telescope has recorded an image of two merging galaxies nicknamed ‘Angel Wing’?
Answer: Hubble Space Telescope
Notes: The Hubble Space Telescope has recorded an image of two merging galaxies in the VV-689 system that appears to be shaped like wings. The interaction between the two galaxies is symmetrical, and the image appears to resemble wings. The two galaxies are currently in the middle of a collision and are nicknamed Angel Wing. Other galactical alignments only appear to overlap because of the angle they are viewed from on the earth.
