A system known as 3C321 contains two galaxies that orbit around each other. Each of them has a super massive black hole in the center of them. The larger galaxy has a jet emanating from the vicinity of its black hole and the smaller galaxy apparently fell into the path of this jet, obliterating and likely any planets that reside it in.

They’ve dubbed this galaxy the Death Star galaxy, paying homage to Star Wars. The Death Star in Star Wars was a battle station capable of destroying planets by superlaser (But you know this :P). Poor Alderaan.

Check out the photos of the Death Star galaxy, they’re some of the most beautiful displays of cosmic violence I’ve ever seen.
