It takes into account the strange objects in the southern sky Arp-Madore catalogue Its member numbered 417-391 is the pair of galaxies, which perform a special dance with each other and undergo a significant transformation under the influence of their gravity. THE Hubble shot shows such an exciting situation that this object has been included in the list, which will be recorded by the James Webb Space Telescope, and from which a lot of information can be extracted about the relationship between the two galaxies.
A closer look at the two strange galaxies

The two galaxies have been deformed into a ring by their own gravity, and the galactic nuclei can be seen next to each other within the ring. The image was taken by Hubble’s ACS camera, whose main job is to search for galaxies and galaxy clusters in the early Universe. For about 20 years this instrument has been producing increasingly exciting images, which can be used to study the distribution of dark matter or the evolution of galaxies.
