{"product_id":"arp-284-ngc-7714-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Arp 284 (NGC 7714) – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eArp 284, centred here on the interacting galaxy NGC 7714, unfolds across a dark field in Pisces. Seen by the Hubble Space Telescope at a distance of 100 million light-years, the galaxy is markedly asymmetrical: a brilliant core and tightly worked inner structure occupy the left of the composition, while long, delicate extensions reach into the surrounding blackness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlue light dominates the galaxy’s contorted form, interrupted by warm orange patches and narrow regions of shadow. The brightest material appears concentrated around the centre, where luminous arcs curl around darker folds. Farther out, the structure becomes finer and more tenuous, dissolving into filaments rather than ending at a clean boundary. The generous darkness to the right gives these outer traces room to register, while a faint elongated object near the edge adds a quieter counterpoint to the main galaxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOfficially classified as an interacting galaxy system, Arp 284 is remarkable here for the visible irregularity of its structure. Instead of a neat, evenly balanced disc, the image presents a galaxy stretched into arcs, knots and trailing strands—a complex form whose disturbed appearance is particularly compelling at large scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNear the nucleus, the image is at its most densely layered. A compact white-blue glow sits amid darker channels and mottled orange light, creating the impression of depth within the central region. Around it, the blue structure broadens into uneven curves, some sharply defined and others fading gradually into grey-black space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the upper edge of the galaxy, a slender blue filament threads through a much darker region. Towards the far left, bright and shadowed material meet abruptly, revealing a finely textured boundary rather than a smooth outline. Below the centre, softer orange tones mingle with cooler blue-grey forms, while small red and white points punctuate the wider field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe image’s scale of presentation brings out these changes in texture: the concentrated brilliance of the core, the intricate surrounding shadows and the extremely faint outer strands. What first appears to be a single sweep of blue light resolves into a complicated arrangement of narrow ridges, diffuse patches and isolated points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow this image was made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis astronomical image was produced with the Hubble Space Telescope and released on 29 January 2015. The supplied metadata do not specify the instrument, observation dates, exposure time, filters or colour treatment, so the visible palette is best understood simply as the appearance of the finished released image rather than interpreted as a documented colour map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arp 284, NGC 7714\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interacting galaxy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pisces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 million light-years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope or observatories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 January 2015, 16:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e ESA, NASA Acknowledgement: A.
