  Or maybe #overlap (they don't look very disturbed, so maybe not a merger) Anyway #beautiful

  Wow that's stunning. A quick search in NED and it's a known interacting pair. They both have redshifts measured (which are similar).

  The pair has the lovely name: MCG -01-03-008

  What a perfect set of twin galaxies though. Another example of how vast the universe is. 😃

  These two merging spiral galaxies appear to be spinning in opposite directions.

  The two objects in the center are two spirals merging. The spiky object top left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
