MtnClimber;

This is a beautiful galaxy!

If I look at it in food terms, its a mocha malted shake in a blender, the fountain attendant just poured chocolate and raspberries in the top!

But its really much more beautiful than fountain shake. I know that I am looking at a color altered picture and the color makes it more beautiful.

The triplet galaxy: its like a black painted push scooter
laying on its side. (Usually how I see them.) The galaxy on the left is the handle bars, and the other two galaxies are the wheels! You dont see the platform and riser because they are, of course, black and blend in with the back ground. The wheels are of course, star color!

Of course, there no way to comprehend the distances between us and these beautiful galaxies.

I think it looks like two paintings by famous painter Arnold Ziffel. They were done after he ate a cheeseburger which inspired him to paint Nude at a Gas Station and Three Nudes at a Gas Station Rolling All About.

Estimated distance is 37 mil light years. So, fairly close as galaxies go.
