Hubble image of Arp 282, also known as NGC 169 and NGC 169A. Both NGC 169 (bottom) and NGC 169A (top) have actively accreting supermassive black holes in their centers. The two galaxies are interacting, creating delicate streams of stars, gas and dust that visibly link the pair. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, J.

Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 25, also known as NGC 2276. This face-on spiral galaxy looks lopsided, with its core offset to the upper left and a single spiral arm that is separated from the others. It is interacting with the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 2300, just out of frame. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, P. Sell Source: #ArpGalaxy #Galaxy #Space #Astronony #Hubble image
VLT image of Arp 289, also known as NGC 3981. This image was captured as part of the ESO Cosmic Gems Program, which uses the Very Large Telescope to photograph beautiful objects in the southern skies when conditions don’t allow scientific observations to be made.
