Nearly 12 million light years away from us, these massive objects known as galaxies are just dull dots in the sky to us. These two galaxies are called M81, and M82 and are massive galaxies that are locked in each others orbits and have been for the last billion years approximately. This photo is truly amazing especially M82 on the right because of the amazing purple color that is emitting from it is so unique, and the galaxy is so energetic it also glows in x-rays, far off the visual spectrum for us.
