Hope that first one doesn't remind anybody of an ex-wife.

@Admins: the image in the first post has disappeared... Can we get it back somehow? I have another one to post, this one hosts a megamaser (microwave + laser = maser)

Beautiful shot. Looks to me like the left galaxy is actually in front of the right galaxy, probably much closer to us. Doesn't appear to be any gravitational interaction, which one would see if they were twin galaxies.

Thanks Bob. I wasn't posting galaxies that are over-marketed, like that beautiful Sombrero in the first page, but I am glad you did, because they are really beautiful.
