The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged Arp 287, a pair of interacting galaxies also known as NGC 2735 and NGC 2735A. NGC 2735, the large spiral at the center of the image, is gravitationally interacting with its smaller companion NGC 2735A. The image, credited to NASA, ESA, STScI and collaborators, is being shared widely among space enthusiasts who admire the detail of the galactic pair.

Why now: Space enthusiasts are sharing the striking new Hubble view of these interacting galaxies.
