“Markarian's Eyes” is copyrighted by Ken Crawford (Rancho Del Sol Observatory). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteMarkarian's Chain, a string of galaxies in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, includes these two interacting galaxies, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, also known as The Eyes. About 50 million light-years away, they appear 100,000 light-years apart, but likely approached within 16,000 light-years in the past. Gravitational tides from this encounter have ripped material from NGC 4438.
