Messier 59 and Messier 60 - M 59 & M 60
The image shows the eastern part of the Virgo Cluster. Here's the breakdown: Messier 60 (M60): This is the large, bright elliptical galaxy on the left (the brightest object in the image). NGC 4647: Right next to M60 (almost touching it), you can see a smaller spiral galaxy. M60 and NGC 4647 form a famous interacting pair, often referred to as "Arp 116." Messier 59 (M59): This is the bright elliptical galaxy in the center of the image. It is slightly smaller and more elongated than M60.
