Sometimes, space looks back.
This cosmic face is made up of two galaxy cores (the eyes) surrounded by a ring of blue stars (the face).
Known as Arp-Madore 2026-424, this galactic gaze will merge into one galaxy in 1-2 billion years: go.nasa.gov/44nr3LG

Boo! 👻
This ghostly view from Hubble shows NGC 6684, an eerie lenticular galaxy about 44 million light-years away.
It lacks dark lanes of dust, which sometimes spread through galaxies, which only adds to its ghost-like appearance: go.nasa.gov/3UBdXpF

X marks the spot?
This Hubble view appears to show two galaxies intersecting and colliding.
But it’s just a trick of perspective – these two galaxies are separated by millions of light-years and are moving in different directions: go.nasa.gov/44p3LF1

See the bar of stars going through the galaxy NGC 2217?
The bar in this #HubbleFriday image helps funnel gas from the galaxy's disk into the middle of the galaxy.
Then, it's formed into new stars or fed to the black hole at the galaxy's center: go.nasa.gov/3vZRla5
