Hubble Snaps Stunning Image Of Two Distant, Gravitationally Interacting Galaxies

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured a stunning new image of two galaxies gravitationally interacting with each other. The image of the two galaxies (collectively known as NGC 3447) located about 60 million light-years from Earth was captured using the telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3.
In the image, the diffuse and patchy blue glow on the right in NGC 3447B, while the smaller clump on the left is NGC 3447A.
