{"product_id":"ngc-2207-and-ic-2163-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"NGC 2207 and IC 2163 – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eIC 2163 and NGC 2207 fill this Hubble Space Telescope image with two expansive, intricately textured forms set against near-black space. One galaxy curls through orange-brown clouds threaded with blue; beside it, the brighter nucleus of its companion anchors a web of pale filaments and cooler blue light. Located 110 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Canis Major, they are classified as an interacting pair of galaxies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distance gives the apparent encounter an extraordinary context: the light recorded here began its journey towards Earth 110 million years ago. Released in November 1999, the image presents the pair not as isolated objects but as a closely associated system, their broad, asymmetrical structures sharing the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the left, densely folded orange and brown textures form a granular swirl. Narrow streaks of blue appear between the warmer regions, while a faint blue haze softens the galaxy’s lower boundary. Small white points above its brighter interior provide moments of sharpness amid the more diffuse light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe galaxy on the right is organised around the image’s brightest nucleus. From this concentrated centre, luminous structures sweep outwards into darker surroundings; along the outer regions, delicate blue wisps become especially distinct against the black field. Near the lower edge, a subdued orange bulge provides a quieter counterweight to the sharper blue highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most absorbing passage lies between the two galaxies. Here, faint overlapping forms make their visual relationship difficult to separate at a glance: granular orange regions, dim extensions and fine strands of light appear layered across one another. Around the pair, scattered points of light punctuate the open darkness without distracting from the scale and complexity of the central forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC 2163 and NGC 2207\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interacting galaxies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canis Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 million light-years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 November 1999, 07:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASA \/ ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team ( STScI )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right size and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine art can feel intimate at smaller sizes and more architectural at larger ones.
