This photo is one of many that show highlights of the Galaxy Zoo project.
The Hubble Comic Telescope took a picture of two overlapping spiral galaxies SDSS J115331 and LEDA 2073461. They are more than a billion light-years away from Earth. ESA reports.
Even though they appear to collide in the image, the alignment of the two galaxies, their positions, is just a coincidence – they are not actually interacting. While these two galaxies may just be cosmic objects floating around, Hubble has captured a surprising array of interacting galaxies in the past.
According to the agency, this image is one of many telescope observations that highlight the highlights of the Galactic Zoo project.
The Galaxy Zoo Project and its successors, originally created in 2007, are large-scale citizen science projects that classify galaxies with the help of hundreds of thousands of volunteers.
During the original Galaxy Zoo project, volunteers discovered a range of strange and fascinating galaxies, such as unusual spiral galaxies and colliding ring galaxies.
It was previously reported that Hubble captured a stunning image of a strangely shaped dwarf galaxy.
Webb took the first direct picture of an alien world
