The two galaxies subtly warp each other through a mutual gravitational interaction

It looks like a magical image, but it’s real… The telescope Hubble “caught an amazingly sharp image of a pair of galaxies, which NASA has released.

The two interacting galaxies that make up the pair known as Arp-Madore 608-333 they seem to float side by side. Although they appear peaceful and undisturbed, the two galaxies subtly warp each other through a mutual gravitational interaction that disturbs and distorts both galaxies. Hubble’s advanced Camera for Surveys captured this prolonged galactic interaction.

See the picture:

The interacting galaxies in Arp-Madore 608-333 are part of an effort to create an archive of interesting targets for more detailed future study by Hubble, ground-based telescopes and the Space Telescope James Webb of NASA/ESA/CSA. To create this record, astronomers searched existing astronomical catalogs for a list of targets that span the entire night sky. They hoped to include objects that had already been identified as interesting and that would be easy for Hubble to spot regardless of which direction it was pointing.
