WEBJan 14, 2003 · As late as the 1960s Hubble, Holmberg, and others considered NGC 520 as an "exploding galaxy", but Astronomers now believe that it is a pair of closely interacting and possibly colliding spiral galaxies, seen edge-on. This pair is included in Arp’s catalog of unusual galaxies as ARP 157.
