Clarification

  Hey guys! I am new here and I wanted to ask others what your opinions on these were. I said they were merging galaxies, but I am not sure that is right. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks 😃

  Hi CurlyChemist and welcome to GZ Talk. If there is no disturbance to their shape, I would say that they are not merging. Here is some information on mergers.
