Galaxy Pair NGC 3314

This image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and its Wide Field

Planetary Camera 2

(WFPC2) shows the unique galaxy pair called NGC 3314. Through an

extraordinary chance alignment, a face-0n spiral galaxy lies precisely

in front of another larger spiral. This line-up provides us with rare

chance to visualize dark material within the front galaxy, seen only

because it is silhouetted against the object behind it.
