NGC 4194 | Medusa Merger
This is a fraction of the story for NGC 4194. There is a lot of data available for this galaxy in the archive and I'm sure it'll get a press release at some point. This processing features only the bluer WFC3 data because I was stupid and didn't check to see that there was ACS data which covered a redder range. That will come later, hopefully in combination with some of this UV data.
As with most galactic mergers, there is a lot of star formation going on here and this galaxy is notable for the magnitude of star formation going on in its centre, which is referred to as the Eye of Medusa.
Red: WFC3/UVIS F555W
Green: WFC3/UVIS F438W
Blue: WFC3/UVIS F336W
