Galaxies Masquerade as Eyes in the Sky

What are you going to be for Halloween? These two galaxies have joined forces to masquerade as two spooky eyes floating in space. Galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 met and began a slow gravitational merge about 40 million years ago. This false color image of the galaxies shows their cores in blue green and their spiral arms in bright red. Eventually, the two galaxies will become one.
