Astronomers have spotted the merger between two neutron stars in a very odd place.

This extreme collision was found in a tiny galaxy embedded in a stream of gas.

Scientists needed NASA’s Chandra, Fermi, Swift, and Hubble to make this discovery.

This result may help answer two different mysteries about stars and intergalactic space.
