| Description |
English: A picturesque scene of a barred spiral galaxy. This is only half of an interacting pair. The other galaxy is just off the right edge. It is probably a safe assumption to make that not much interaction has occurred yet, as things seem fairly organized into spiral arms at the moment. A good bit of star formation is ongoing, given the various puffs of glowing gas and bright star clusters.
I'm hoping one day the other half of this system will be imaged, but it looks like there aren't any plans for it right now. Data from the following proposal is used to create this image: Establishing HST's Low Redshift Archive of Interacting Systems All channels: ACS/WFC F606W North is 4.70° clockwise from up. |
