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.⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 NASA, ESA⁠ ⁠ #ESA #Hubble
