The Hubble Space Telescope photographed the interacting galaxy system Arp-Madore 2105-332 in the small constellation Microscope.

This was reported by the ESA observatory, according to Ukrinform’s report.

It is stated that Arp-Madore 2105-332 is located approximately 200 million light-years away from Earth. This system belongs to the Arp-Madore catalog of peculiar galaxies.

Peculiar galaxies are galaxies with properties that do not cause them to be separated into separate morphological classes.

Other galaxies not associated with this system can also be seen in iota – 2MASX J21080752-3314337 and 2MASX J21080362-3313196. Their names include coordinates in the declination and direct ascension system commonly used by astronomers to locate astronomical objects.

Both galaxies belong to a type known as emission line galaxies. This means that when observed with spectrometers, the spectra of both galaxies show characteristic bright peaks known as emission lines.

As Ukrinform reported, the Hubble Space Telescope photographed the globular star cluster NGC 2210 in the constellation Golden Pisces.
