how to classify these beauties: spiral galaxies ready to merge or what? Anyway, I've never find such images before!

Is that a green pea between the two? DR8 says star...

Is this green pea really between and part of interaction or beyond?

Lovely. If that greenish emission were blue (in these images) I'd have said #voorwerpje as well.

DOUBLE GALAXY, MERGING POSSIBLY. DUST LANE IS INCREDIBLE.

2 adjacent galaxies. Spirals could be in opposite directions. Dark-brown, lumpy inner part of spirals. Lovely to look at.
