Arp 81: 100 Million Years Later

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Two galaxies, cataloged as Arp 81, are seen here about 100 million years after their closest approach. The Hubble Space Telescope captured the gravitational havoc of their encounter. Twisted streams of gas and dust, massive star formation, and a tidal tail stretching 200,000 light-years are all visible in this image.
