Hawai'i high school students name image of glittering galaxy pair

Nā ʻUhane Māhoe Huki Pū i ke Ola is the Hawaiian name given to NGC 7253—a pair of spiral galaxies caught in each other's gravity. Captured by the Gemini North telescope on Maunakea in Hawai'i, the image created a spectacular symbolic display for this year's interns participating in Project Hōkūlani.
