The core of the dense Hixon cluster of galaxies 98 containing two Milky Way-like galaxies that appear as "smears" in the center of the head. The point between them is a star in the Milky Way, which is much closer to us. The tadpole-like shape contains the central pair of galaxies. It was formed when the pair of galaxies broke up a third, much smaller galaxy. Credit: From the collection of the "Pass 82" project of the Astrophysical Institute of the Canary Islands.
