Pair of Overlapping Galaxies: NGC 3314 | Hubble
The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope has produced an incredibly detailed image of a pair of overlapping galaxies called NGC 3314. While the two galaxies look as if they are in the midst of a collision, this is in fact a trick of perspective: the two are in chance alignment from our vantage point.
Distance: 150 million light years
