Description

Processed monochrome images from data obtained through Hubble Legacy Archive.
Tadpole Galaxy is about 420 million light years away from Earth. Its tail is perhaps a result of a close encounter with another galaxy which ripped off stars and gases from its spiral arms.
Image processing done in PixInsight, Lightroom and Photoshop.
