TWO or THREE GALAXIES MERGING TOGETHER?

  • miajuliana1 by miajuliana1

    I am new to the world of astronomy, but I am going to guess this is two galaxies merging together. They say there are supermassive black holes at each center of a galaxy, and although you cannot see the black hole, the level of brightness is the event horizon in which all the stars are being pulled in... I see two signifcant sections of light, which might signify two galaxies?
