    They are satellite galaxies, like the small and large Magellanic are to us. One is orbiting very closely, so there is a trade off of matter.

    How do you know? Did you check their redshift? I mean, it could be an overlap.

    fatha731 is correct. There is a lot of optical noise in this pic. The human brain tends to create patterns (connect the dots) which do not really exist!
