|||| Written by reporter Ding Lin New Media Editor/Li Yunfeng The image was taken by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 in late 2010. The rose-shaped "Arp 273" in the picture is a pair of "interacting galaxies" located in Andromeda, 300 million light-years away from Earth. The two galaxies are tens of thousands of light-years apart and connected by a "thin bridge" of stars. The smaller UGC 1813 galaxy is passing through the spiral arm of the "flower" UGC 1810, and the former's core is therefore experiencing intense star formation activity. April 24, 2011 was the 21st birthday of the Hubble Telescope, and NASA used this photo to "celebrate" it. Ten years later, in April 2021, NASA posted this photo again on social media, "This cosmic rose is only for you!" The photo immediately attracted attention again, with more than 180,000 likes. One user hoped to "keep this sparkling rose by my side forever." Another user left a message saying that he gave the rose to his lover and confessed "I love you."
