Description

I stumbled upon these two galaxies while searching in Stellarium for objects. I've always loved the grouping of galaxies to show contrasting designs and colors. This pair is a magnificent combination showing NGC 5905, a barred spiral at 169 million light-years distant, and NGC 5908, seen almost edge-on at 182 million ly away.  They are both beautiful in their own right.
