“Arp 273” is copyrighted by Adam Block. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe two prominent, spiky stars in the foreground are within our Milky Way Galaxy. The two eye-catching galaxies, however, lie about 200 million light-years beyond. Their distorted appearance is due to gravitational tides as they engage in close encounters, their bright cores separated by about 80,000 light-years from our perspective.
