A stunning image of Arp 295, a pair of interacting galaxies connected by a spectacular bridge of stars and gas, spanning nearly 250,000 light-years. The galaxies' interaction creates long, flowing tails of stellar material, showcasing a beautiful and dynamic phase of galactic merger. Captured by the USNO 1-meter telescope.
