Hubble has detailed an impressive image of one of the outlandish galaxies

The Hubble Space Observatory is creating another ultra-deep-field image of a new section of the sky i have a photo one of the unusual galaxies Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies halton arp. The atlas includes 338 galaxies with unique individual characteristics, which excludes them from the usual classification. The Hubble image shows the galaxy ESO 415-19 with two exceptionally long streams of stars in stunning detail.

The center of the galaxy ESO 415-19, which is located at a distance of 450 million light years from us, looks like an ordinary spiral galaxy. However, both of its sleeves continue with streams of stars, like long arms of widely spread stars. These currents, long ago in the history of this galaxy, were shaped by its tidal forces. In the distant past, ESO 415-19 collided with smaller galaxies or tore apart its neighbors in the universe. Captured by the galaxy’s gravity, the stars have stretched out in long streams over billions of years, giving it a unique appearance.

Hubble does not specifically study galaxies of type ESO 415-19 from the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. However, these objects are scattered throughout the sky and during other observations or between changes in the orientation of the space observatory, they fall into the field of view of this instrument and scientists. Over 10,000 galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes and colors have been captured in an ultra-deep-field image in the region of the constellation Fornax (Fornax), where the galaxy ESO 415-19 fell. But like ESO 415-19, there is one.
