These galaxies are locked in. The pair, known as ESO 550-2, is caught in a gravitational dance. This interaction's already deformed one arm of the larger galaxy on the left, though star formation continues in it. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3TgKB2H

What's going on next door? A new study using Hubble data shows that Andromeda, our nearest major galaxy neighbor, has undergone a 500-million-year decline in star formation – with an even steeper drop in the last 40 million years: go.nasa.gov/4fRy5zm

A one-sided spiral 🌀 Located about 72 million light-years away, the spiral galaxy NGC 4654 belongs to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. Its asymmetric shape is caused by pressure it encounters as the galaxy moves through gas in its cluster: go.nasa.gov/4b1FwS0

Bridging the divide 🌉 Two interacting galaxies known as ESO 77-44 are connected by a bridge of stars and gas. This cosmic dance unfolds about 550 million light-years away from Earth: go.nasa.gov/4pxuiuf

What do all these cosmic views have in common? Hubble captured them on previous July 16s! ICYMI, you can find multiple beautiful views taken on any date using the new expanded edition of "What Did Hubble See on Your Birthday?": go.nasa.gov/3Rn86Gy Let us know what you get!
$NGC 6791. Bright stars with diffraction spikes shine against black space. A few galaxies are seen in the distance near the left.$
