To make Hubble’s birthday memorable the collaboration releasing some 59 photographs that Hubble has taken in last 18 years. This Collaboration releasing around 59 images presenting dramatic galactic collisions, observed throughout the universe. Colliding galaxies often spell disaster for star systems, albeit they can also trigger new star formation processes and merges to create new galaxies.Some of the interacting galaxies presented in the images have been cataloged during the 1960s by Halton Arp, in an attempt to determine the shapes of the galaxies seen with the help of ground-based telescopes.
