Image of Arp 317, also known as the Leo Triplet, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).

In the original catalog, it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Groups. This small group of galaxies consists of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3628 at lower right, and the nearly face-on spirals M66 at upper right and M65 at upper left.

A lower-res black and white image of three widely separated galaxies on the black background of space. The bright parts of the galaxy are overexposed, so you do not see very many interior details of the galaxies. The galaxy at the upper left is an edge-on spiral, seen as a wide, bright line with a dark dust lane going through the middle. The galaxy at lower left is a spiral galaxy, seen as a bright oval. The galaxy at lower right is a nearly face-on spiral, seen as a bright oval.

JWST NIRCam image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, or the Penguin and the Egg.

In this wide view, we see the Penguin (laying on its back) and the Egg, and the foreground edge-on spiral PGC 1237172. There are also a large number of distant galaxies, some seen as tiny spirals and ellipticals, and many appearing as dots.

Arp 142, two interacting galaxies, take up less than a third of the frame. At the top is NGC 2937, nicknamed the Egg. Its center is brighter and whiter. There are six diffraction spikes atop its gauzy blue layers. At the center is NGC 2936, nicknamed the Penguin. In this view it is resting on its back, facing up. Its beak-like region points toward and above the Egg. Where the eye would be is a small, opaque yellow spiral. The Penguin’s distorted arms and thin red dust lanes from the bird’s beak, back, and tail. The tail is wide and layered, like a beta fish’s tail. A semi-transparent blue hue traces the Penguin and extends from the galaxy, creating an upside-down U over top of both galaxies. At bottom center-right is another galaxy seen from the side, pointing at an angle. It is largely light blue. Its length appears approximately as long as the Egg’s height. There are several foreground stars with large, bright blue diffraction spikes. The wide black background is filled with tiny, extremely distant galaxies.
