Trick of Perspective | Space Wallpaper

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced an incredibly detailed image of a pair of overlapping galaxies called NGC 3314 as seen in this spectacular space wallpaper. While the two galaxies look as if they are in the midst of a collision, this is in fact a trick of perspective: the two are in chance alignment from our vantage point. Image released June 14, 2012.
