Zooming in on ESO 381-12
This video begins with a ground based view of the night sky, before zooming in on the galaxy ESO 381-12 as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope sees it.
The strikingly uneven structure and the clusters of stars that orbit around the galaxy suggest that ESO 381-12 may have been part of a dramatic collision sometime in its relatively recent past.
