Description

Well, it isn't M51, is it?

This Astrobin Debut Object is a pair of spiral galaxies located 320 million light years away in the constellation of Aquarius at a declination of -9 degrees.  Each galaxy is about 60,000 light years in diameter.   

It looks to me like a star stream bridge connects the pair.  I believe they are interacting, but who knows?
