Description

The Twins (Butterfly) Galaxies NGC 4567/4568 along with M58 taken in LRGB. The Twins are thought to be colliding and merging together.

Formally known as the Siamese Twins - In 2020, NASA dropped the Siamese nickname in an effort to avoid systemic discrimination in their terminology.

Thanks, Eddie
