Explanation: This dramatic image of an interacting pair of galaxies was
made using 8-meter Gemini South telescope at Cerro Pachon, Chile. NGC 1531
is the background galaxy with a bright core just above center and
NGC 1532 is the foreground spiral galaxy laced with dust lanes.
The pair is about 55 million light-years away in the southern constellation
Eridanus. These galaxies lie close eno |
