Scientists at NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) released an image on Friday showcasing a pair of merging galaxies.
The galaxy merger, known as Arp-Madore 417-391, is located 671 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus.
Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, it is the result of two galaxies that were distorted by gravity and twisted together into a ring.The telescope used its Advanced Camera for Surveys to snap this scene and the ESA said that the instrument is optimized to hunt for galaxies and galaxy clusters in the ancient universe.
