    Hubble image of Arp 221.Arp 221 is an interacting trio of disk galaxies, including what is probably a large lenticular galaxy to the right, with a series of shells that are caused by the galactic gravitational interactions or a past merger.Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, J.

    Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 6, also known as NGC 2537 or the Bear’s Paw Galaxy.NGC 2537 has a nucleus that is rapidly forming stars, surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped structure that is also forming new stars. Since the stars in the nucleus are older, the horseshoe may be the result of a shockwave sent out by the nuclear starburst.Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, J.
