Their spiky appearance is due to diffraction in the astronomer's telescope. But the two eye-catching galaxies in view lie far beyond the Milky Way, at a distance of about 200 million light-years. Their distorted appearance is due to gravitational tides as the pair engage in close encounters. From our perspective, the bright cores of the galaxies are separated by about 80,000 light-years. Cataloged as Arp 273 (also known as the Galaxy Rose), the galaxies do look peculiar, but interacting galaxies are now understood to be common in the universe. In fact, the nearby large spiral Andromeda Galaxy is known to be some 2 million light-years away and approaching the Milky Way. Arp 273 may offer an analog of their far future encounter. Repeated galaxy encounters on a cosmic timescale can ultimately result in a merger into a single galaxy of stars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublisher's Note:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eFor a higher resolution, close-up of Arp 273, see Galaxy Rose -- one of our best sellers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BayPhoto","offers":[{"title":"MetalPrint Ready to Hang \/ 11x14","offer_id":54346572956016,"sku":"faa1789990503865","price":116.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MetalPrint Ready to Hang \/ 8x10","offer_id":54346572988784,"sku":"yxp1789990503866","price":56.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MetalPrint Ready to Hang \/ 16x20","offer_id":54346573021552,"sku":"gly1789990503867","price":156.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Wrapped Canvas Ready to Hang \/ 11x14","offer_id":54346573054320,"sku":"aaq1789990503868","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Wrapped Canvas Ready to Hang \/ 16x20","offer_id":54346573087088,"sku":"fzl1789990503869","price":134.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 11x14","offer_id":54346573119856,"sku":"zzt1789990503870","price":11.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 8x10","offer_id":54346573152624,"sku":"lhf1789990503871","price":8.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 16x20","offer_id":54346573185392,"sku":"cla1789990503872","price":38.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 4x6","offer_id":54346573218160,"sku":"udq1789990503873","price":4.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 5x7","offer_id":54346573250928,"sku":"aoy1789990503874","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 12x18","offer_id":54346573283696,"sku":"xfy1789990503875","price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 11x14","offer_id":54346573316464,"sku":"ovp1789990503876","price":59.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 8x10","offer_id":54346573349232,"sku":"ivp1789990503877","price":38.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 16x20","offer_id":54346573382000,"sku":"pif1789990503878","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 12x18","offer_id":54346573414768,"sku":"dit1789990503879","price":75.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MetalPrint Ready to Hang \/ 24x30","offer_id":54346573447536,"sku":"bsw1789990503880","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MetalPrint Ready to Hang \/ 24x36","offer_id":54346573480304,"sku":"bme1789990503881","price":362.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MetalPrint Ready to Hang \/ 30x40","offer_id":54346573513072,"sku":"htj1789990503882","price":592.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Wrapped Canvas Ready to Hang \/ 24x30","offer_id":54346573545840,"sku":"edz1789990503883","price":213.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Wrapped Canvas Ready to Hang \/ 24x36","offer_id":54346573578608,"sku":"lcn1789990503884","price":256.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Wrapped Canvas Ready to Hang \/ 30x40","offer_id":54346573611376,"sku":"akw1789990503885","price":306.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 24x30","offer_id":54346573644144,"sku":"itj1789990503886","price":86.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 24x36","offer_id":54346573676912,"sku":"ugk1789990503887","price":88.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Premium Print \/ 30x40","offer_id":54346573709680,"sku":"fnq1789990503888","price":105.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 24x30","offer_id":54346573742448,"sku":"hxd1789990503889","price":130.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 24x36","offer_id":54346573775216,"sku":"dul1789990503890","price":186.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed Fine Art Print \/ 30x40","offer_id":54346573807984,"sku":"wbj1789990503891","price":185.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/3749\/6944\/files\/twisted-galaxies_1.jpg?v=1789990509","url":"https:\/\/kayakpaddling.shop\/products\/twisted-galaxies","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
