Overlapping galaxies, HST image
Overlapping galaxies. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the overlapping galaxies known as 2MASX J00 The two objects are both spiral galaxies, with the outer rim of a small, foreground galaxy (upper right) silhouetted in front of a larger background galaxy (centre left). Dust lanes in the smaller galaxy are seen in front of the larger one. 2MASX J00 is located in the constellation of Sculptor and is around 780 million light years from Earth. The area seen here is around 180, 000 light years across. This image was obtained in 2006, using HSTs Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of overlapping galaxies, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The image features two spiral galaxies, with a smaller foreground galaxy's outer rim silhouetted against a larger background galaxy. As if painted on a cosmic canvas, dust lanes in the smaller galaxy are seen in front of the grandeur of its counterpart. Known as 2MASX J00482185-2507365, this celestial duo resides approximately 780 million light years away from Earth within the constellation of Sculptor. Spanning an area around 180,000 light years across, this awe-inspiring snapshot offers us a glimpse into the vastness and complexity of our universe. Taken in 2006 using HST's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), this space telescope image allows us to marvel at these distant galactic neighbors. The intricate interplay between light and shadow creates striking silhouettes that highlight their unique characteristics. Stars twinkle amidst this astronomical dance while dust lanes add depth and texture to the scene. As we contemplate this extraordinary photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our place in the cosmos. Through advancements in astrophysics and technology like ACS and HST itself, we continue to unravel mysteries hidden within these overlapping galaxies—each discovery bringing us closer to understanding our vast universe.
