Deep Space Galaxy Interaction – Premium Astrophotography Print
Journey 290 million light-years into the constellation Pegasus with this dramatic view of NGC 7319, one of the five galaxies that make up the famous Stephan’s Quintet. This compact galaxy group is caught in a cosmic gravitational dance, where entire galaxies collide, merge, and reshape each other over billions of years.
In this detailed long-exposure image, tidal tails of stars and gas arc across space as galaxies interact. NGC 7319 itself hosts an active galactic nucleus (AGN) — a supermassive black hole consuming surrounding matter and emitting powerful radiation. The faint galactic streams visible here reveal the ancient history and violent future of this extraordinary galactic cluster.
