Arp 273 is a pair of interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies , compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. [ 5 ]

This image of a pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273 was released to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The distorted shape of the larger of the two galaxies shows signs of tidal interactions with the smaller of the two.

Feb 27, 2017 · The galaxies of Arp 273 have recently interacted via gravity to make a shape resembling a cosmic rose. The NASA Hubble Space Telescope turned its keen eye to an especially photogenic group of interacting galaxies called Arp 273.

Apr 20, 2011 · Two misshapen spiral galaxies combine to form a beautiful celestial flower in this Hubble image taken with the Wide Field Camera 3. Known as Arp 273, the pair is among hundreds of "peculiar" galaxies catalogued by astronomer Halton Arp in the 1960s. The gravitational attraction between these two galaxies has created their physical distortions.

Jan 7, 2025 · Arp 273 is a couple of interacting galaxies in Andromeda constellation, at the distance of 345 million light years. The name comes from the fact that they were catalogued at position 273 in the "Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies" compiled by Halton Arp in 1966: the two galaxies are catalogued also as UGC 1810 (the bigger one) and UGC 1813 (the smaller ...

Arp 273 is a pair of interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, is about five times more massive than the smaller galaxy.

Dec 2, 2024 · Arp 273 Celestial hemisphere: Northern · Constellation: Andromeda (And) · Contains: PGC 8961 · PGC 8970

Apr 21, 2011 · Cataloged as Arp 273 (also as UGC 1810), 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 …

Aug 3, 2023 · This image of a pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273 was released to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. The distorted shape of the larger of the two galaxies shows signs of tidal interactions with the smaller of the two.

May 25, 2018 · This visualization of the interacting galaxy pair known as Arp 273 presents a unique three-dimensional view and serves as a visual reminder that the objects in astronomical images are spread across vast reaches of space.
