Hubble Captures a Galactic Dance - gortex - 10-28-2023 The image shows a Galactic dance of three Galaxies captured by old faithful , the Hubble Space telescope , we see a pair of Galaxies known collectively as Arp-Madore 2339-661 , they are individually known as NGC 7734 , the larger one at the top and NGC 7733 at the bottom as it reaches out to its partner with an exchange of Cosmic stuff. The Galactic dance is happening 500 Million Light Years from Earth. But where's the third Galaxy I hear you ask , well that is the small red knot like structure on the right side of the bottom Galaxy , originally it was thought to be a part of NGC 7733 but it's different colour gives it away as a separate Galaxy , as they dance all three move ever closer with the three destined at some point to merge and become one , a Cosmic threesome if you like. Quote:This striking image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures the interacting galaxy pair known as Arp-Madore 2339-661. The Arp-Madore catalog is a collection of peculiar galaxies, and this group’s particular peculiarity might be odder than first meets the eye, as there are three galaxies interacting here, not just two. RE: Hubble Captures a Galactic Dance - LogicalGraffiti - 10-30-2023 Got to hand it to the Hubble telescope. It's been in service for a very long time now and no space shuttle to give it new features. Great image. I thought the third galaxy was the white streak to the bottom left of the the lower galaxy. |
