Hubble captures remarkable images of two spiral galaxies ‘overlapping’

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured this beautiful image of two spiral galaxies seemingly overlapping in the sky. SDSS J115331 and LEDA 2073461, the two galaxies in the image, lie more than a billion light-years away from our planet. Even though it looks like both the galaxies are colliding in the image, the two galaxies […]

ESO image captures galaxy with closest discovered pair of supermassive black holes

The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope has captured an image of a spectacular galactic collision. NGC 7727, a massive galaxy, was created from an event that started around a billion years ago: the merger of two galaxies. And at the centre of NGC 7727 lies the closest pair of supermassive black holes ever […]

Hubble image of galactic trio captures complexity of multiple galaxies

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image that features multiple galaxies. The lone galaxy on the upper right is LEDA 58109. In the image, it is accompanied by two other galactic objects in the lower left. One is an active galactic nucleus called SDSS J162558.14+435746.4, which is partially obscuring the galaxy SDSS J162557.25+435743.5 […]
