“Galaxies in the River” is copyrighted by Robert Gendler. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteGalaxies often grow by absorbing smaller ones, a common practice in the universe. This striking pair of interacting galaxies in Eridanus illustrates this process. The large spiral, NGC 1532, is in a gravitational struggle with a dwarf galaxy, both located over 50 million light-years away.
