Summary
[edit]
| Description |
A delightful and unusual merger of galaxies, resulting in the comet-like appearance of one galaxy. Only a small amount of dust is visible, but many small dots which I presume are globular clusters are sprinkled within the pair. Edit: Upon looking at the color data, the clusters may be younger clusters, not necessarily globulars. It's bluer than I expected, which would indicate that star formation has been going on. A color and widefield view is available in SDSS data at the Legacy Survey viewer: legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=73.3523&dec=-4.7932&zo... 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 12.84° clockwise from up. |
