A stunning image of Arp 295, a pair of interacting galaxies connected by a spectacular bridge of stars and gas, spanning nearly 250,000 light-years. The galaxies' interaction creates long, flowing tails of stellar material, showcasing a beautiful and dynamic phase of galactic merger. Captured by the USNO 1-meter telescope.

Stunning image of Arp 87, a pair of interacting galaxies connected by a luminous bridge of stars, gas, and dust spanning over 75,000 light-years. The gravitational interaction has triggered intense star formation in NGC 3808A, visible as bright blue clusters. NGC 3808B shows a polar ring structure. This captivating view showcases a stage in the eventual merger of these galaxies, located 300 million light-years away in Leo. A distant background galaxy is also visible.
