Summary[edit]
DescriptionNoao-n2207terrell.jpg |
English: Quite a bit of commotion is happening 114 million light years away with these two galaxies! The smaller of the two galaxies is approximately the same size as our own Milky Way galaxy. These galaxies are passing very near to one another so that their mutual gravitation influence distorts the shape of the other. Look closely to see a brown arc to the right of the nucleus of the smaller galaxy. This is the spiral arm of the larger galaxy (NGC 2207) which is in the foreground. This galactic dance is beginning to trigger massive regions of star formations (barely discernable here as pink dots along the spiral arms). This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014. |
