As NASA explains, the “two galaxies were distorted by gravity and twisted into a colossal ring, leaving their cores nestled side by side.”The image was made possible by Hubble’s onboard Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), which is designed for this exact sort of thing—spotting distant, ancient galaxies.More on this story: NASA and SpaceX Working to Boost Hubble to a Higher OrbitAstronomers are currently using Hubble as a scouting tool for the recently deployed James Webb Space Telescope, which has already produced some of the most stunning astronomical images we’ve ever seen.Hubble, when not making previously scheduled observations, is inspecting some lesser-known galaxies, allowing astronomers to compile a list of interesting galaxies for Webb to perform follow-up observations.Arp-Madore 417-391 is one of many fascinating objects in the Arp-Madore catalog, a collection that includes other interacting galaxies—including one with a distinctly face-like appearance.More: Webb Telescope Reveals Noxious Atmosphere of a Planet 700 Light-Years Away"
