#Arp273 is a pair of interacting spiral galaxies, sometimes called the "Rose," located in the constellation Andromeda about 300 million light-years from Earth.

The galaxies were captured in a renowned image by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2011 to mark the telescope's 21st anniversary.

📸 UGC 1810: Wildly Interacting Galaxy from Hubble
Spiral galaxy UGC 1810 is colliding with a smaller companion, forming the interacting pair Arp 273. The bright blue outer ring is filled with young, massive stars triggered by gravitational forces. Located 300 million light-years away in Andromeda, UGC 1810 may one day absorb its partner.

This image of a pair of interacting galaxies called #Arp273 was taken in celebration of Hubble's 21st anniversary in 2011.

#Hubble was launched April 24, 1990, aboard Discovery's STS-31 mission. Hubble discoveries revolutionized nearly all areas of current astronomical research from planetary science to cosmology.
