What is NGC 3314: Overlapping Galaxies Explained about?

NGC 3314 is actually two large spiral galaxies that have overlapped each other almost exactly. The foreground galaxy is viewed face-on, showing its spiral structure of young star clusters and dark dust lanes. The dust lanes are unusually prominent and can be used to study the distribution of dust in the background galaxy. The overlapping galaxies are 140 million and 117 million light years from Earth in the constellation Hydra.
