Strike a pose, vogue! 📸
The galaxy on the left looks like it went with extreme eye makeup, while the one on the right went with a more natural look. Together, they’re known as Arp 107, a pair of colliding galaxies.
The glamorous galaxy on the left is an extremely energetic galaxy with a very active core. Its small companion is connected to it by a faint “bridge” of gas and dust. This view was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.

ALT TEXT: A pair of merging galaxies. The galaxy on the left has a single, large spiral arm curving out from the core toward 3 o’clock and wrapping counterclockwise, ending in a straighter line pointing toward the bottom of the frame. This arm is bright blue with shades of brown mixed in. The right-hand galaxy has a bright core that is approximately the same size as the galaxy at left, but only a tiny bit of very faint material surrounds it. A broad curtain of gas connects the two galaxies’ cores and hangs beneath them. Small stars and galaxies are scattered throughout the black background of space.
