Telling Tendrils: A deep new image of part of the Virgo cluster has revealed monumental tendrils of ionized hydrogen gas 400,000 light-years long connecting the elliptical galaxy M86 (right) and the disturbed spiral galaxy NGC 4438 (left). The filaments of hydrogen gas trace back to a very high-speed intergalactic collision. [Tomer Tal and Jeffrey Kenney/Yale University and NOAO/AURA/NS]

Cue the Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision) comments in 1...2...3...
So if the red filaments are ionized hydrogen gas, what are the green filaments coming from the galaxy in the lower-right of the photo? If they were explained in the article I missed that...

The filaments of hydrogen gas trace back to a very high-speed intergalactic collision... run it backwards and let's see what happened.
