The effect could make galaxies appear to contain more matter than can be seen.

Light from distant galaxies passing through those regions also gets warped, making the galaxies appear streaked and smeared in telescope images.

Specifically, Type II galaxies are tilted such that they are obscured by their own rings of dust, making Type I galaxies appear brighter by comparison.

Light from distant galaxies passing through those regions also gets warped, making the galaxies appear streaked and smeared in telescope images, a technique known as weak gravitational lensing.

Therefore, these galaxies appear very green in a Sloan 3 - colour (g, r, i) image due the lack of equivalently - strong emission in the Sloan g — and i — bands (the blue - and red - filters, respectively).

New radio images of galaxies with bright quasar cores show that, though the galaxies appear normal in visible - light images, their gas has been disrupted by encounters with other galaxies.

One study showed that the gas being stripped out included the cool, denser gas that is the source of continued star formation and so the galaxies appear to be dying from a lack of new stars being formed.

MACS0647JD was observed by Hubble with 17 filters, spanning near - ultraviolet to near - infrared wavelengths, but the galaxy appeared only in the telescope's two reddest filters.
