Could these be two galaxies crossing each other?

  I have the impression, because of the presence of two bright centers close to one another, that this is not one but two galaxies, close in size. Can I reserve time on the Hubble? How much is five minutes?

  Scientists find it hard to get Hubble time. But one of our Galaxy Zoo scientist is collecting objects

  You can check to see if Hubble has already looked at it.

  But I think that the second bright center is an artifact.
