| The respective cores of the twin galaxies are the orange
blobs, left and right of image center, crisscrossed by filaments of dark
dust. A wide band of chaotic dust, called the overlap region, stretches
between the cores of the two galaxies. The sweeping spiral-like patterns,
traced by bright blue star clusters, shows the result of a firestorm of
star birth activity which was triggered by the collision.
This natural-color image is a composite of four separately filtered images taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), on January 20, 1996. Resolution is 15 light-years per pixel (picture element). |
