TL;DR

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of interacting galaxies known as AM 1214-255, which contain active galactic nuclei (AGNs) caused by matter whirling into a supermassive black hole at the galaxy's heart. Hubble observed the galaxy closest to the center as part of an AGN survey to compile a dataset for astronomers investigating AGN physics, black holes, host galaxy structure, and more.
