Great weekend out on the Shropshire Union canal. Peaceful night in the Cheshire countryside.

As a view from the office goes, it's not too bad.

This Hubble image of interacting galaxies, collectively known as Arp 142, provides an example of how a galaxy’s structure can be disrupted. The gravitational interactions with the lower galaxy stretch the gas and stars of the upper galaxy into long tails: bit.ly/460JDd4 🔭 🧪
Three galaxies in a vertical image. The top one is blue and almost vertical, and smaller than the other two. One foreground star with four large, bright blue diffraction spikes appears along its lower left, and another slightly smaller foreground star appears above it. The middle galaxy is half-curved around the lower galaxy and by far the largest, taking the shape of a Penguin. The Penguin is highly detailed, with a bright blue beak, body, and tail that is covered in an arc of dark brown dust that sweeps from the beak area and ends beyond its tail feathers. The lowest galaxy in the scene is a bright white orb, about one sixth of the size of the middle galaxy above it. Around and behind these large galaxies are small galaxies in an array of bright reds, greens, and blues, some dotted near the Penguin’s tail feathers and more toward the top of the view. Dozens of additional smaller galaxies and stars appear throughout the background. Some galaxies are orange, while others are white.
