{"product_id":"antennae-galaxies-ngc-4038-and-ngc-4039-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Antennae Galaxies — NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 — meet in a densely interwoven Hubble view, their luminous forms gathered towards the left of an otherwise deep-black field. Located 65 million light years from Earth in the constellation Corvus, the pair is classified as interacting galaxies. Here, that encounter appears as a complex mingling of bright knots, hazy arcs and faint filaments rather than two cleanly separated structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA brilliant concentration of pink and white light anchors the central-left region. Around it, finer strands branch into dimmer material, while sharp pinpoints punctuate the softer glow. Cooler blue emerges towards the upper right, tracing wispy curves and scattered luminous knots; below, muted orange patches fold into broad areas of shadow. The colours create distinct visual territories without breaking the sense that the entire form is entwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition gains much of its power from imbalance. Almost all of its brightness is held to one side, leaving a wide reach of darkness on the right, interrupted only by a handful of tiny points. That open space makes the galaxies’ crowded structure feel more intricate still: light appears layered upon light, with brighter ridges rising from a web of subdued colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNear the central pink-white concentration, narrow spikes and compact points emerge from a diffuse halo. Follow the surrounding filaments outwards and they become progressively fainter, sometimes vanishing into black before reappearing as delicate traces. Along the edges of the main galactic forms, rippling streaks soften the boundary between the brightest material and the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper-right region is quieter but especially finely drawn. Pale-blue arcs curl through the darkness around several small knots of light, contrasting with the warmer, denser-looking centre. Towards the lower edge, orange haze and shadow intermingle in irregular patches. On a large presentation, these restrained outer details become an essential part of the image: subtle extensions of colour connect the intense central structures to the surrounding dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Antennae Galaxies, NGC 4038 and NGC 4039\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interacting galaxies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corvus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 million light years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 November 2013, 10:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e ESA\/Hubble \u0026amp; NASA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right size and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine art can feel intimate at smaller sizes and more architectural at larger ones.
