One of the galaxies in an interacting galactic group known as Arp 295 is seen in this new Hubble image, along with part of a 250,000-light-year-long bridge of faint stars and gas that stretches between the two galaxies, caused by their gravitational pull.

Arp 295 is located about 270 million light-years away in the constellation Aquarius.

Image description:

A galaxy covered in dark brown dust is seen from the edge, glowing against black space dotted with more distant galaxies. The centre galaxy has a hazy bridge of faint stars extending towards the bottom of the image.

It's a very absorbing image, don't you think?
