NGC 5256

NGC 5256 - a pair of galaxies in the final stages of merging. This object was previously imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope and released as part of a collection of 59 colliding galaxies on the Hubble Space Telescope's 18th birthday, April 24, 2008. The new data clearly show the gas and dust swirling around the galaxy and especially its double center more sharply. This image is a composite of data collected by the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Angle Camera #3. Photo: NASA/Hubble Space Telescope
