As the galaxy NGC 4402 moves through space, it experiences resistance from the interstellar gas and dust it encounters – known as ram pressure ❣️❤️

In this #HubbleClassic view, this effect is seen in the curved appearance of the galaxy's disk of gas and dust, caused by forces exerted by the heated gas NGC 4402 moves through.

NGC 4402 is located about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo.
