NASA helps netizens understand the world that lies beyond planet Earth with their regular social media posts. From posting about the "last gasp" of a dying binary star system to sharing about a potentially habitable planet located 137 light-years away, the space agency shares varied posts. Adding to that list is their post about a dwarf galaxy which is undergoing a “highly energetic” event. A dwarf galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, located 54 million light-years away, is undergoing a highly energetic event, captured here by NASA Hubble Space Telescope. The little galaxy is undergoing a process called ram pressure stripping that is driving unusually high levels of star formation in regions of the galaxy,” NASA wrote on Instagram.
