Interesting Image

Hi All,
I am not sure if this should go in this forum, or another.

In the image is an interesting interacting galaxy NGC7135. It has a cometary shape with the 'tail' of stars.

Passing this galaxy is the asteroid 1996 SC7.

Just thought it was interesting.

Interesting pairing. NGC 7135 would be easily mistaken as a comet as it looks exactly like one with a tail.

Very well done Jeff.
