Two galaxies swirl together in cosmic collision captured by Hubble
NGC 1614, captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is an eccentrically-shaped galaxy ablaze with activity. The galaxy resides about 200 million light-years from Earth and is nestled in the southern constellation of Eridanus (The River). NGC 1614 is the result of a past galactic merger which created its peculiar appearance. NGC 1614 is, in fact, the second most luminous galaxy within 250 million light-years.
