The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with its Advanced Camera for Surveys, captured a picture of a galactic collision between two galaxies, Arp-Madore 417-391, in the constellation Eridanus. As
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by the observatory.
It was noted that Arp-Madore 417-391 is located 670 million light-years from our planet, in the constellation of the southern hemisphere of the sky.
In the image itself, you can see how the two galaxies to the right of center form a ring. The ring is narrow and blue, and the nuclei of the two galaxies form a bulge on the side of the ring.
The ring has a bright orange star on it. Two smaller spiral galaxies and a few stars are visible to the left of center.
The background of the photo is black and dotted very small stars and galaxies.
The name of the constellation is of ancient Greek origin. In ancient Greek mythology, Eridanus was the name of the river sometimes identified with the Nile or Po. On ancient Greek maps, the constellation Aquarius was depicted as a stream pouring out of a jar.
As Ukrinform reports, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed a small, dense cloud of gas and dust called CB 130-3 in the constellation Serpent, thanks to its Wide Field Camera 3 camera.
