Summary

Description

An interacting pair of galaxies also known as NGC 2799 (left) & NGC 2798 (right). NGC 2799 appears warped, and seems to be getting ripped apart. Rain comes to mind when looking at this, like the stars and gas of the blue galaxy are mere particles condensing and falling into the red galaxy like rain. It's probably nothing like rain, though.

Color comes from SDSS this time, which is always a pleasure. As far as surveys go, it's very easy to work with. Data for this field can be found here: dr12.sdss.org/fields/name?name=ngc+2799
