Summary

Description	English: PIA23009: GOALS Merging Galaxies https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23009 These three images show merging galaxies observed for the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey, or GOALS. The merger on the left is Arp 302; in the middle are NGC 7752 and 7753; on the right is IIZw96. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at Caltech in Pasadena, California. Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado. Data are archived at the Infrared Science Archive housed at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.
