Hubble Space Telescope spies odd pair of galaxies near Big Dipper

A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope proves that astronomers don't have to look very far to find something astonishing.

The galaxy LEDA 48062 lies 30 million light-years from our own Milky Way galaxy, a short distance in cosmic terms. LEDA 48062's smudge-like form looks especially amorphous in a new Hubble Space Telescope image, which shows the galaxy next to the more classically disk-shaped galaxy UGC 8603.
