Shiva and Shakti: Two stellar streams of our Milky Way galaxy
Stellar streams are groups of stars around a galaxy that move along similar orbits. They are the remnants of smaller galaxies that have been eaten by larger galaxies, such as the Milky Way.
This visualization is on two stellar streams of the Milky Way, named Shiva and Shakti.

Congratulations sir❤
Sir, I would like to say with great respect that you have given the name after reading the scripter. People say that you have not given a religious name for popularity???
Why are they named as shiva and Shakti? Can you explain the reason behind how they are connected with these names?

In Hinduism, it is believed that union of masculine energy (Shiva) and feminine energy (Shakti) formed the cosmos. Khyati Malhan is head of the study published and is inspired by this Hindu concept. Hence the name.
He created the heavens without pillars that you see, and He placed stabilizers on earth lest it shakes with you, and He scattered throughout it every kind of creature. And We sent down water from the sky, and We caused every noble pair to grow therein. This is Allah’s creation. Now show me what those besides Him created. In fact, the unjust are clearly lost. Qur’an 31:10-11
