| Description |
English: Looks like a small friend can have a big effect on a larger galaxy. This interaction is reminiscent of the Cartwheel system, but perhaps earlier in the process. We can still make out what used to be spiral arms becoming offset from the nucleus, and beginning to run into one another to become a ring. As with the Cartwheel, streams of gas can be seen emanating from the center like spokes.
The smaller galaxy at the lower right has its own changes, but they are much fainter and therefore more subtle to observe. I tried to make the tidal streams apparent enough to see, but depending on what kind of screen you are viewing on and how dark your room is, it may or may not be hard. Establishing HST's Low Redshift Archive of Interacting Systems All Channels: ACS/WFC F606W North is 45.18° clockwise from up. |
