This image is from data in the Hubble Legacy Archives. These are single exposures from the space telescope at three different wavelengths (with the F450W, F555W, and F814W filters), combined to create an RGB file.
NGC 4302 is about 55 million light years away and appears in the constellation Coma Berenices. The boxy center of the galaxy suggests a central bar. NGC 4302 is a Seyfert galaxy.
NGC 4302 appears next to NGC 4298, another galaxy, and at least one study has shown a bridge of radio emission moving between them, evidence of some interaction.
