2022 November 08 - Galaxies: Wild's Triplet from Hubble
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2022-11-08

In today's image, we see Wild's Triplet which contains three spiral galaxies which appear to be interacting with each other. However, it has been found that only the two larger galaxies (with the bridge between them) are actually interacting. The third spiral is not associated with these and is actually much further away.
