Interacting galaxies
Interacting galaxies. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the interacting spiral galaxies NGC 2207 (left) and IC 2163 (right). IC 2163 grazed the larger galaxy some 40 million years ago, which distorted its spiral shape. A long streamer of dust and stars has been ejected from IC 2163 (centre right). IC 2163 lacks the energy needed to escape this interaction, and these galaxies will eventually merge in many millions of years. They lie around 114 million light years from Earth in the constellation Canis Major. Data for this image was collected by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on the HST in May 1996 and November 1998

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing dance of two interacting spiral galaxies, NGC 2207 and IC 2163. Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), this image reveals the aftermath of a cosmic collision that occurred approximately 40 million years ago. As IC 2163 grazed its larger counterpart, NGC 2207, it caused a distortion in its once perfect spiral shape. Intriguingly, at the heart of this celestial encounter lies a long streamer composed of dust and stars that has been forcefully ejected from IC 2163. Despite lacking sufficient energy to escape this gravitational interaction, these galactic neighbors are destined to merge together over countless millions of years. Located around an astonishing distance of 114 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Canis Major, these galaxies offer us a glimpse into the vastness and complexity of our universe. The data for this awe-inspiring image was collected by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board HST during May 1996 and November 1998. As we marvel at this extraordinary display captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the ever-evolving nature of our cosmos. This photograph serves as a testament to both the beauty and immense power that reside within our galactic neighborhood—a reminder that even amidst chaos, harmony can emerge in unexpected ways.
