Nasa. LARGE FORMAT. This striking image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, showing what looks like the profile of a celestial bird, belies the fact that close encounters between galaxies are a messy business. The orbits of the galaxy's stars, once part of a flat spiral disk, have become blurred due to gravitational tidal interactions with the other galaxy. This distorts the galaxy's ordered spiral, and interstellar gas is scattered in giant tails like stretched taffy. 2013.period chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Legend on back label. 40.6 x 40.6cm with margins.
