Anything about Space I can share I will. Ok, skip the "Boring Stuff" for those who aren't that into it but everything & anything I myself can get I enjoy. Somewhere vast with opportunities for things unknown.
A Quick Look at Ring Galaxy AM 0644 | NASA Chandra
A new ring of black holes or neutron stars has been discovered in a galaxy about 300 million light years from Earth. This ring was forged when one galaxy smashed through the middle of another, creating ripples in the gas. As this gas expanded through the impacted galaxy, called AM 0644-741, it triggered waves of star formation.

The most massive of these stars lasted only a few million years, before exploding as supernovas and leaving behind black holes or neutron stars as their remains.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory can detect some of these black holes and neutron stars as they siphon off material from stars that orbit them.

Studying 'ring' galaxies such as this one will help astronomers better understand what happens when galaxies clash in catastrophic impacts.

"CALL To ACTION...We must turn out in numbers Nov 6th that will send a very loud message to the Democratic Party of how dare you try to usurp our Constitution, our Nation, and our President who was duly elected in spite of their now proven efforts to undo what We The People had elected President Trump to carry out in our name"... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/usurpers-constitution-ring-leaders-report-president-len-swanson/?published=t
