Hubble Observes Triple Galaxy Merger: IC 2431
The Hubble team has released an incredibly beautiful shot of IC 2431, a distant trio of merging galaxies located in the constellation of Cancer. This composite image shows the distant galaxy merger IC 2431. The image is composed of infrared, optical and ultraviolet observations from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), the Dark Energy Camera…
Galaxy Zoo: Hubble Captures a Tumultuous Galactic Trio
By ESA/Hubble February 13, 2022 Hubble Space Telescope image of IC 2431, which appears to be a triple galaxy merger in progress, as well as a tumultuous mixture of star formation and tidal distortions caused by the gravitational interactions of this galactic trio.

Hubble Space Telescope Focuses on NGC 1705
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a striking new photo of the dwarf galaxy NGC 1705. This Hubble image shows NGC 1705, a dwarf galaxy located 18.7 million light-years away in the constellation of Pictor. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / R. Chandar. NGC 1705 resides approximately 18.7 million light-years…
Hubble snapped a starship-shaped galactic pair
Using its Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured a group of three galaxies called NGC 7764A. The NGC 7764A are located around 425 million light-years away from Earth in the Phoenix constellation. Two galaxies appearing on the upper right of the image look like they are interacting…

This spiral galaxy lies around 150 million light-years from the Milky Way in the constellation Aries. Despite its tranquil appearance, NGC 976 has played…
Hubble Captures Detailed Image of NGC 976
The Hubble team has released a stunning image snapped by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the spiral galaxy NGC 976. This Hubble image shows NGC 976, a spiral galaxy located 150 million light-years away in the constellation of Aries. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / D. Jones / Riess et al. NGC…
Hubble Space Telescope Observes Conjunction of Two Spiral Galaxies
While it looks like a spiral galaxy called NGC 105 is plunging edge-on into a collision with a neighboring spiral galaxy, this is just the result of the chance alignment of the two objects in the sky. This image, taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, depicts NGC 105, a spiral galaxy 215.5 million light-years…
Hubble Space Telescope Views Lonely Spiral Galaxy
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced a spectacularly detailed image of the spiral galaxy UGC 9391. This Hubble image shows UGC 9391, a spiral galaxy some 120 million light-years away in the constellation Draco. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / Riess et al. UGC 9391 is located approximately 120 million…
