Our #HubbleTopImage catches two galaxies in close encounter!⁠ ⁠ This pair of interacting galaxies is known as Arp 142. When two galaxies stray too close to each other, they begin to interact, causing spectacular changes in both. In some cases they merge 🤝 in others, they are ripped apart.⁠ ⁠ The Arp 142 pair are close enough together to interact violently, exchanging matter and causing havoc!⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)⁠ ⁠ #ESA #Hubble
