NASA shared a new Hubble image of two galaxies intersecting, showing some of the agency's future study targets.
, we’re going to be relying on any data Hubble and James Webb can give us to help push studies further. That’s why this newest Hubble image of two intersecting galaxies is so important.
Not only is the image breathtaking – pretty much anything about space can be classified as such – the image is part of NASA’s ongoing collection of interesting galaxies that it hopes to push researchers towards. The goal of this collection is to figure out more about the dusts that make up different galaxies, and how that dust interacts when we have intersecting galaxies like this.

In fact, it’s a drawn-out, competitive, and overall difficult process. As such, these observations are allocated to every last second of observation time that the agency can eke out of it.
Snapshots are basically the times when NASA doesn’t have Hubble set to an active target. And because the time that Hubble has to offer is limited and extremely competitive, these snapshots help take advantage of those target changes. From there, NASA is able to look at these images, like the one of the two intersecting galaxies, and decide if it should target it more closely.might look, and honestly, this kind of data could help take our studies of the universe even further.
