hubble space telescope's deployment into

science institute in baltimore maryland

5
00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:13,440
pointed hubble's eye at an especially

6
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,000
photogenic pair of interacting galaxies

7
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,480
called arp273

8
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:20,880
the larger of the spiral galaxies known

00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:24,800
as ugc 1810 has a disc that is tidally

10
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:27,439
distorted into a rose-like shape by the

11
00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:29,359
gravitational tidal pole of the

12
00:00:34,229 --> 00:00:32,719
companion galaxy below it known as ugc

2010 with three separate filters that

17
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:45,039
allow a broad range of wavelengths

18
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,680
including the ultraviolet blue and red

00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,760
portions of the spectrum

00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:51,840
over the course of its lifetime hubble

00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,239
has revolutionized nearly all areas of
