I'm new here - merging galaxies? is it usual or this seldom appears in images?

Both of the galaxies look disturbed, so definitely a #merger for me ! And mergers are somewhat rare, but you'll see quite some of them ! 😄

Looks like a galactic merger. I heard our Milky Way Galaxy will merge with Andromeda in about 4 billion years.
