October 3, 2002 | The Hubble Space Telescope captured this scene in the
constellation Draco. The large galaxy is the 80 million light-year distant NGC
4319. And to its upper right is an object that looks to be a nearby companion.
But looks can be deceiving. The "neighbor" is actually a quasar - an extremely
distant galaxy with a superbright core - known as Markarian 205. It resides
1.1 billion light-years away, some 14 times farther than the galaxy at the
fore.
Within NGC 4319 spiral arms, striking dust lanes, and a large, subtle central
bar are all clearly visible. The dust lanes are of particular interest - the
distorted dark patches suggest that NGC 4319 interacted with a nearby galaxy
in the past.

The view is 1.8 arcminutes across, corresponding to some 40,000 light-years.
The image is a composite of two shots taken in 1997 and 2002. A total of 1.4
hours of Hubble observations were added to create the picture seen above.
