Hubble Pictures of Interacting Galaxies

In honor of its 18th birthday (18 years since launch), Hubble recently released 59 images of interacting galaxies, available here. In addition to being gorgeous (and I don't even work on interacting galaxies at all), these images provide a crucial view on how smaller galaxies merged in the early universe to make the big galaxies we see today. Hope you enjoy!
