NGC 3314 is a pair of overlapping spiral galaxies between 117 and 140 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. This unique alignment gives astronomers the opportunity to measure the properties of interstellar dust in the face-on foreground galaxy (NGC 3314a).

NGC 3314是 长蛇座 的一个 深空天体，由NGC 3314a（前）和NGC 3314b（后）两个 漩涡星系 重叠组成，距离我们有1.17亿 光年 和1.4亿光年远。 NGC 3314由两个几乎完全排成一列的大 旋涡星系 构成。 前景旋涡星系看起来刚好面对我们，许多年轻的明亮星团构成了它的风车形状。 在背景星系辉光的反衬下，面对我们的前景星系呈现出星际尘埃的暗黑螺旋带，显示出旋涡星系的结构。 这些尘埃带厚实得令人惊讶，而且这对明显的重叠星系是能吸收见光的少数系统之一，过 …

2012年6月14日 · The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced a highly detailed image of a pair of overlapping galaxies called NGC 3314. While the two galaxies look as if they are in the midst of a collision, this is in fact a trick of perspective: the two just happen to appear in the same direction from our vantage point.

NGC 3314 is about 140 million light-years away in the multi-headed constellation Hydra. This color composite was constructed from Hubble Space Telescope images made in 1999 and 2000.

This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a rare view of a pair of overlapping galaxies, called NGC 3314. The chance alignment of the two galaxies, as seen from Earth, gives a unique look at the silhouetted spiral arms in the closer face-on spiral, NGC 3314A.

2012年6月14日 · This video begins with an image of the whole night sky, before zooming in to the constellation of Hydra and the curious pair of galaxies catalogued as NGC 3314. These two galaxies are actually separated by around 20 million light years, even if from our vantage point they look like they are in the midst of a collision.

Through an extraordinary chance alignment, a face-on spiral galaxy lies precisely in front of another larger spiral.
