Arp 230: Two Spirals in One?

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Arp 230 appears to be a single spiral galaxy, but it is actually the result of a recent collision of two spirals. This slow-motion event took place over about 100 million years. The collision induced a burst of star formation, which has now begun to subside.
