In honor of the 21st anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's launch into space, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore released this photo of a "rose" of galaxies. The pair of interacting spiral galaxies is called Arp 273. The larger galaxy is distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational pull of the galaxy below it. Hubble was deployed April 24, 1990.
