Our
#HubbleTopImage features a peculiar galaxy pair 🤪🤪
Arp 116 is comprised of a giant elliptical galaxy (Messier 60) and a much smaller spiral galaxy (NGC 4647).
Astronomers have long tried to determine whether they are actually interacting. Although they overlap as seen from Earth, there is no evidence of new star formation ⭐ which would be one of the clearest signs of interaction.
