Galactic Attraction
Posted By:

In the categories of things which can you make feel small and something cool you don't see every day, we have this image from NASA's Hubble Telescope of two galaxies interacting with the collective designation of Arp 91.

Astronomers believe that such interactions will eventually result in the formation of an elliptical galaxy over a period of hundreds of millions of years.
