A stunning image shared by NASA shows how two spiral galaxies are being slowly stretched out thanks to gravitational forces as they pass through each other. Captioned 'The Mighty Mice', the shot taken by an astronomer using a small, New Mexico based telescope shows the Mice Galaxies and their tails of stars and gas. The two galaxies, which lie 290 million light-years away, will continue to collide with each other repeatedly until they eventually become one, in billions of years' time.
Hong Kong police rejected accusations of excessive use of force during clashes in Wednesday's protests against a controversial extradition bill with China. In addition to water cannons, pepper spray and tear gas, riot police fired rubber bullets and beanbag rounds at unarmed protesters in the worst unrest the city has witnessed in decades. The violence left 81 people injured, the hospital authority said. Influential legal bodies and rights group criticised the tough tactics, accusing police of over-stepping lawful powers and launching an unprecedented operation against the much larger mass of peaceful protesters as videos of officers attacking retreating demonstrators, bystanders and journalists have gone viral.🔥 #Retract
