A new image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed an unusual pair of merging galaxies called Arp-Madore 417-391, which lies 670 million light-years away. The two interacting galaxies, distorted by gravity, coiled together to form a "colossal ring," with their galactic cores lying side by side. This galactic merger resides in the Eridanus constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.
