    This is a near edge on view but another galaxy seems to associated with it.

    Indeed. And a particularly interesting question is whether the association is physical (i.e. the two galaxies are close, and interacting to some extent) or coincidental (i.e. along the same line of sight, but separated by millions-billions of light-years).

    GZ includes images of some pretty amazing galaxies, doesn't it? 😃
