Two misshapen spiral galaxies combine to form a beautiful celestial flower in this Hubble image taken with the Wide Field Camera 3. Known as Arp 273, the pair is among hundreds of "peculiar" galaxies catalogued by astronomer Halton Arp in the 1960s. The gravitational attraction between these two galaxies has created their physical distortions.

The outermost arm of the larger spiral appears to have been pulled into a wide ring around the galaxy — a characteristic astronomers often see in galaxy pairs where one galaxy has passed through the other. The ring around this galaxy is off-center, though. This suggests the smaller galaxy plunged through the larger one, but that its kamikaze dive was not a direct hit.

The interactions between the galaxies appear to have set off a stellar baby boom. In the larger galaxy, a flurry of new star birth recently erupted along the outer spiral arms, where bright, blue clusters of young stars now sparkle. The smaller galaxy's star formation, on the other hand, seems concentrated in its bright core.

Like the galaxies of Arp 273, most galaxies do not live in isolation. Their encounters with each other are an influential part of the growing-up process for galaxies. By observing how galaxies are affected by their gravitational exchanges, astronomers can better understand how galaxies developed and how the universe evolved.

These galaxies are located 350 million light years away from us, in the Andromeda constellation.

Hubble Collection - FAQ

For that question, I could write a book. But in short: Each astrophotograph is a light captured by the camera and has the form of FITS data(that's how in astronomy RAW is called) from FITS I can build an image in some sophisticated software. Is it simple? Definitely not, I started my interest in astrophotography when I was a kid, but the way which I had to come to be in the actual place and develop skills took 20 years.

I reprocessed 10 images from the collection. In the description of the each image you will find the credits. The rest of the images are public domain images processed by NASA/ESA/STScl and we just only specially prepared them for the printing with some AI detail enhancing tools.

Yes, Earth is not very big planet at least with the XXI century transport possibilities. So you can order print to the any corner of our planet and experience scientific beauty on your wall.
