A Spanish telescope captures shockwaves from a galaxy colliding with Stephan's Quintet at 2 million mph.

A powerful telescope in Spain has captured a galaxy colliding with Stephan's Quintet at 2 million miles per hour, revealing a shockwave that behaves differently in various environments. The research, involving over 60 astronomers, was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The findings were made possible by combining data from WEAVE, LOFAR, the Very Large Array, and the James Webb Space Telescope.
