Penguin guarding its egg galaxies. NGC 2936 and NGC 2937

Penguin guarding its egg galaxies. NGC 2936 and NGC 2937 Two galaxies interacting. NGC 2936, once a standard spiral galaxy, and NGC 2937, a smaller elliptical, bear a striking resemblance to a penguin guarding its egg. Here is a combination of visible and infrared light, created from data gathered by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 3 (WFC3).
