Hubble Space Telescope image of NGC 7714, a spiral galaxy distorted by a collision with its neighbor NGC 7715. The image shows a stunning golden ring of older stars and a bright center with active star formation. This galactic interaction, located 130 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces, is a captivating example of cosmic evolution.
