English: I think there are at least two galaxies here in the midst of a very confusing merger. I mean, all mergers and many galaxies are confusing to some extent, but this one really confuses me. I've marked what I think are two galactic nuclei. On the other hand, it looks a bit like a snake turning its head and opening its mouth, which is cool.
There is a faint line going diagonally across the left half of the image. This is possibly some space junk or some other small object that is close to Earth. I normally remove these, but this one is less obtrusive, making it a good example without detracting too much from the image. Sometimes these are much brighter, and are a big hassle to deal with.
