Description

Interesting set of galaxies in this image. On the left we have M90 and it's full of blue stars causing almost the whole galaxy to take on a blue hue. The main subject M89 despite appearing as a lenticular galaxy on the surface seems to have a lot going on with its shape. There's a faint jet shooting out from the center and their appears to be some type of force pushing against the edge of the expansion of the galaxy creating an edge contrast on one side.
