Description
I love the shape of this Galaxy after another one crossed through it. It reminds me on one giant astronomic nautilus.
This image was cropped from a pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273 was released to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The distorted shape of the larger of the two galaxies shows signs of tidal interactions with the smaller of the two. It is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one.
Original image and text by NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), further image enhancements and post processing by Weston Westmoreland.
