Arp 272

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Arp 272, also known as NGC 6050 and IC 1179, shows two large spiral galaxies colliding. This Hubble Space Telescope image, part of the Hubble's 18th-anniversary celebration, shows their linking spiral arms. Located 450 million light-years away in the Hercules Galaxy Cluster, the image spans over 150 thousand light-years. While stars rarely collide directly, their gravitational interactions are dramatic.
