Description: Just a couple of days after the orbiting observatory was brought back online, Hubble aimed its prime working camera, the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), at a particularly intriguing target, a pair of gravitationally interacting galaxies called Arp 147.The image demonstrated that the camera is working exactly as it was before going offline, thereby scoring a "perfect 10" both for performance & beauty.The two galaxies happen to be oriented so that they appear to mark the number 10.
