Hubble image of Arp 224, also known as NGC 3921.
NGC 3921 is a pair of interacting disk galaxies that are in the late stages of a merger. The history of this merger is recorded in the tails and loops that surround the center.
The galaxies were about the same mass and likely collided about 700 million years ago.

Any other #Nascom or #Gemini #vintagecomputing geeks out there? I inherited a rather large collection from my late dad, but so far I've only found a handful of people why are into the #Galaxy computers made by Gemini Microcomputers Ltd., and none in the Fediverse yet. The Geminis were made in #England and mostly featured the #Zilog #z80 although they very briefly ventured into Motorola 68K world before throwing in the towel.

Well, it looks like you can't buy #Samsung any more:
"Unremovable #Spyware on Samsung Devices Comes Pre-installed on #Galaxy Series Devices"
https://cybersecuritynews.com/spyware-on-samsung-devices/amp/
"This has sparked outrage among consumers in countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, where affordable Galaxy models are popular entry points into Android."
Another datapoint in favor of "in future, only #rich people can afford #privacy or #security". 😔

My latest processing assignment for my #astrophotography class, using data from the Gateway Remote Telescope.
This is the star-forming region CG 4, known as “God’s Hand” — although as a Star Wars fan I think of it as “Millennium Falcon Escaping the Jaws of the Giant Space Slug.” It’s my favorite astro image so far and I can’t get enough of it, so here are 3 versions: a wide view, a starless image, and a tighter crop. Details in the alt text.

JWST NIRCam and MIRI image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and UGC 5130, or the Penguin and the Egg.
The Penguin is a spiral galaxy whose shape has been distorted by the gravity of the elliptical Egg galaxy. The two are about 100,000 light-years apart and completed a close pass between 25 and 75 million years ago.

Hubble image of Arp 220, also known as IC 4553.
Arp 220 is the aftermath of a collision between two spiral galaxies. The collision set off a burst of star formation, creating star clusters seen as bluish-white bright knots in this image.
This image is part of a collection of 59 images of merging galaxies released to celebrate Hubble's 18th anniversary in 2008.
