Arp 142, two interacting galaxies, observed in near- and mid-infrared light. At left is NGC 2937, nicknamed the Egg. Its center is brighter and whiter. There are six diffraction spikes atop its gauzy blue layers. At right is NGC 2936, nicknamed the Penguin. Its beak-like region points toward and above the Egg. Where the eye would be is a small, opaque yellow spiral. The Penguin’s distorted arms and orange dust lanes from the bird’s beak, back, and tail. The tail is wide and layered, like a beta fish’s tail. A semi-transparent blue hue traces the Penguin and extends from the galaxy, creating an upside-down U over top of both galaxies. At top right is another galaxy seen from the side, pointing roughly at a 45-degree angle. It is largely light blue. Its length appears approximately as long as the Egg’s height. One foreground star with large, bright blue diffraction spikes appears over top of the galaxy and another near it. The entire black background is filled with tiny, extremely distant galaxies.

An irregularly shaped galaxy fills most of the frame. The center is brighter, filled with a blue-white haze of stars that backlights a horizontal band of brown dust. Another area to the left of the core, almost as bright as the center is filled with a similar haze of stars and dotted with blue star clusters. To the right, the galaxy is less bright and more transparent. A faint hazy line extends almost vertically from the top of the galaxy. The black background of space is filled with stars and tiny background galaxies.

A grainy, black and white image of three overlapping galaxies. In the center are two large spiral galaxies. The larger one has a bright core. At the edge of the core, two spiral arms emerge. Star clusters dot the outer portion of the arm. The second spiral galaxy is below the first. It has a bright center, and a well-defined bar and two spiral arms. Together, the bar and arms form a sideways S-shape. The final galaxy in the triplet appears at the top of the frame. It is much smaller than its companions and has a blobby, irregular appearance. A few stars appear on the black background of space, including two large foreground stars, which appear to the left of the bottom galaxy.

A diagram of the Milky Way galaxy showing its spiral structure and major features, with a specific red line indicating the distance Voyager 1 is projected to travel in one million years. The title text at the top left reads: "The red line shows how far Voyager 1 will travel in 1 million years." The main graphic is a top-down view of the Milky Way. Concentric circles are marked with distances from the center in light-years (ly). The galactic center is marked. Galactic Longitude is indicated around the circumference, starting at the top, increasing counter-clockwise. Several major spiral arms are labeled, and other features shown. The red line, originating near the Sun's location, represents Voyager 1's one-million-year travel distance. It extends only a very short, almost imperceptible distance, visually emphasizing the immensity of the Milky Way compared to the probe's travel over that timeframe.
