"NASA's Playful Side: Adorable Penguin and Egg-Shaped Galaxies Revealed in New Photos"

NASA has released images of two galaxies, collectively known as Arp 142, which resemble a penguin and an egg. The galaxies, captured by the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, are located 23 million light-years away. The "penguin" galaxy, NGC 2936, shows visible distortion due to its mix of features, while the "egg" galaxy, NGC 2937, appears featureless. NASA suggests that over time, gravity will bring the two galaxies closer together until they merge into one, a process that likely occurred in the history of most large galaxies.
