TL;DR Summary

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a random collection of galaxies that appears to show smaller spiral galaxies falling out of a larger and brighter galaxy. This collection belongs to the Arp-Madore catalogue of peculiar galaxies. The two big galaxies in the image, known as Arp-Madore 2105-332, are interacting galaxies located about 200 million light-years away. The smaller galaxies in the image are not associated with Arp-Madore 2105-332 but are positioned in a way that makes it seem like they are pouring out of the larger galaxy. The image provides detailed information about the galaxies' composition, star formation, and energy levels.
