#Astronomer Halton Arp believed that the best way to understand the #physics of spiral #galaxies was to study deformed galaxies. He assembled 338 irregular, interacting, or otherwise interesting galaxies in his "Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies" in 1966.

An image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope's ACS instrument shows Arp-Madore 417-391, or simply AM 417-391, a pair of merging galaxies. It's part of the Arp-Madore catalog, which collects particularly peculiar galaxies in the southern sky. It includes pairs of galaxies interacting at levels that go up to a merger just like AM 417-391.
