Arp 188 and the Tadpole's Tidal Tail
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
This cosmic tadpole, known as Arp 188, stretches a tail 280,000 light-years long across the constellation Draco. The Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys captured this disrupted spiral galaxy, showing massive, bright blue star clusters in its tail. Scientists believe a smaller, more compact galaxy passed too close, pulling out the Tadpole's distinctive feature. This gravitational interaction offers a glimpse into how galaxies evolve.
