Accompanying Abstract
This is a bizarre looking galaxy that looks like it's been tweaked at its corners to look like a box. The astronomers who discovered it believe that its bizarre shape is the result of it being a galaxy formed by a merger of two galaxies with their axes pointed in opposite directions. With my limited knowledge of galaxy evolution I would have guessed that the two galaxies merged at a very obtuse angle but what do I know? Either way, it's still so fascinating!
