This pair of
Astrobin Debut Objects appears to be 2 interacting galaxies located 1 billion light years away in the constellation of Pisces at a declination of +2 degrees. Each galaxy spans 20 arc-seconds in our apparent view, which corresponds to a diameter of 90,000 light years. I like the contrasting yellow and blue colors of these 2 galaxies. The blue galaxy has significant disturbance in its upper left quadrant. A star stream halo appears to envelop both galaxies.
Below this pair is a pretty slightly warped unidentified edge-on spiral galaxy. If this galaxy is the same size as our Milky Way, it is located 1.2 billion light years away.
Behind the pair are 3 small unidenitified galaxies, looking like ellipticals. If these galaxies are 90,000 light years in diameter, then they are 4 billion light years away.
Other interesting galaxies are also seen in the background.
