NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a galaxy being pulled apart in deep space. The telescope took the picture of the galaxy, as it moved through a cluster of galaxies known as the Norma Cluster. This process is known as ram pressure stripping. The image was actually taken in 2009, but it takes scientists years to study the complex images Hubble brings them. Report by Sarah Kerr.
