A Close Galactic Pair: Galaxies NGC 4302 & NGC 4298 | Hubble
The image is a mosaic of four separate captures from Hubble, taken between January 2 and 22, 2017, that have been stitched together to give this amazing field of view. Two different types of light emitted by the galaxies—visible and near-infrared—have been combined to give a rich and colorful image. This light was captured by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, one of the telescope’s most advanced imaging instruments.
