The galaxy AM 1054-325 has been warped from a normal pancake-like spiral shape into an S shape by the gravitational pull of a neighboring galaxy, as seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image. As a result, new star clusters were formed along a tidal tail stretched over thousands of light years, resembling a string of pearls.
