signs of ram pressure stripping such as the curved, or convex,
appearance of the disc of gas and dust, a result of the forces exerted
by the heated gas. Light being emitted by the disc backlights the
swirling dust that is being swept out by the gas. Studying ram pressure
stripping helps astronomers better understand the mechanisms that drive
the evolution of galaxies, and how the rate of star formation is
suppressed in very dense regions of the Universe like clusters. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/10/image-of-the-day-galaxy-ripping-through-the-virgo-cluster-at-10million-kilometer-per-hour.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dailygalaxy.com/img/BA73B460-C5B2-4D80-89FC-D4AB0495741F" alt="090930102519-large" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/10/image-of-the-day-galaxy-ripping-through-the-virgo-cluster-at-10million-kilometer-per-hour.html">NGC 4522 is a spectacular example of a spiral galaxy that is currently
