| 説明 | This image taken using the Hubble Space Telescope shows Arp 107, a celestial object that includes a pair of galaxies in the midst of a collision. The larger object (left) is an extremely energetic type of galaxy called a Seyfert galaxy. Seyfert galaxies house active galactic nuclei at their cores. Despite the active core’s immense brightness, it does not saturate the image and mask details in the galaxy’s structure. We can observe radiation from the entire galaxy, including its spiraling whorls, areas of star formation, and dust lanes. The whole galaxy is readily visible. The smaller companion (right) connects to the larger galaxy by a tenuous seeming ‘bridge’ of dust and gas. The colliding galactic duo lies about 465 million light-years from Earth.Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, J.
