Stunning Photo of 'Bickering' Triplet of Galaxies Taken by NASA's Hubble Telescope - Newsweek
NASA has published a stunning image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope that shows a "bickering" triplet of galaxies engaged in a three-way gravitational tug-of-war.
"Galactic siblings fight, too," a post on the NASA Hubble Space Telescope Instagram account read."This view shows a triplet of galaxies, called Arp 195, caught in a gravitational tug-of-war game.
This system is featured in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, a list which showcases unique galaxies in the universe.
A joint project of NASA and the European Space Agency, the telescope is capable of imaging the universe in a broad range of wavelengths from ultraviolet to near-infrared light.In July, NASA published some more images taken by Hubble that showed a set of spectacular galaxies."I'm thrilled to see that Hubble has its eye back on the universe, once again capturing the kind of images that have intrigued and inspired us for decades," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement following the repair.
