Stunning image of Arp 87, a pair of interacting galaxies locked in a gravitational dance. A bridge of stars, gas, and dust, spanning over 75,000 light-years, connects the two galaxies, showcasing the violent effects of their close encounter. The right galaxy, NGC 3808A, displays vibrant blue star clusters, evidence of recent star formation triggered by the interaction. The left galaxy, NGC 3808B, is an edge-on spiral wrapped in bridging material, with a unique polar ring. This image depicts a common, yet visually striking, stage in the eventual merger of these two galactic systems, located approximately 300 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. A more distant background galaxy is visible at the far left.

X-ray and optical image data from the Chandra and Hubble space telescopes reveal the Cheshire Cat galaxy group, a whimsical sight of two merging elliptical galaxies in Ursa Major, 4.6 billion light-years away. Gravitational lensing, predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, creates arcs of light from background galaxies, while the collision of the foreground galaxies heats gas to millions of degrees, producing the purple X-ray glow.
