The last sentence in the APOD description is accurate to me- if one could push M51 on its “back” and turn it sideways, it would look very much like M51.
Cool.

“In fact, the practice is common in the universe and illustrated by this striking pair of interacting galaxies from the banks of the southern constellation Eridanus, The River. Located over 50 million light years away, the large, distorted spiral NGC 1532 is seen locked in a gravitational struggle with dwarf galaxy NGC 1531, a struggle the smaller galaxy will eventually lose.” Thanks for the thread.
