NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is back in business!
Just a couple of days after the orbiting observatory was brought back online, Hubble aimed its prime working camera, the WFPC2, at a particularly intriguing target, a pair of gravitationally interacting galaxies called Arp 147.
The galaxy pair was photographed on October 27-28, 2008. Arp 147 lies in the constellation Cetus, and it is more than 400 million light-years away from Earth.
