Possible intergalactic interaction

    There is a faint light trail extending toward the galaxy up above, making the subject look like an upside-down comma. Could these galaxies be interacting?

    In this infrared image, the trail is very faint. It's more pronounced in the optical image.. So, yes, they are interacting.
