Space Daily reports the discovery of a "death star galaxy" that is ripping up another galaxy nearby with a powerful jet of gamma rays and X-rays. More details along with a picture of the jet in action are contained in the report.
According to the article, the "...death star galaxy was discovered through the combined efforts of both space and ground-based telescopes. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, and Spitzer Space Telescope were part of the effort. The Very Large Array telescope, Socorro, N.M., and the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) telescopes in the United Kingdom also were needed for the finding."
