TL;DR

Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope captures a stunning image of LEDA 42160, a galaxy in the Virgo cluster, 52 million light-years away, undergoing ram pressure stripping, which can both hinder and enhance star formation. The image shows bright patches indicating active star-forming areas, providing valuable data for studying the effects of ram pressure on dwarf galaxies within large clusters like Virgo.
