NGC 3314 Spiral galaxies in the constellation Hydra

NGC 3314 is a pair of overlapping spiral galaxies between 117 and 140 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. This unique alignment gives astronomers the opportunity to measure the properties of interstellar dust in the face-on foreground galaxy. The dust appears dark against the background galaxy. Unlike interacting galaxies, the two components of NGC 3314 are physically unrelated. It was discovered in April 1999.
