We propose high spatial resolution imaging with the Planetary Camera and Wide Field Camera of the most luminous known galaxy in the Universe, the IRAS source FSC10214+4724. This object appears to share many properties with nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies, but is 3 orders of magnitude more luminous. It is also an exceedingly gas rich system, having ~10^12 solar masses of molecular gas. The purpose of the proposed observations is to establish the morphology of the underlying galaxy(s) on a 1 Kpc scale and thereby clarify whether this is an interaction between two or more well formed gas rich galaxies or is a galaxy in the process of formation. Such a determination will help establish whether the power source of this system is a dust enshrouded quasar or star formation in a newly forming galaxy.
