An angel in space? No, they are interactive galaxies

ESO 593-8 is an impressive pair of interacting galaxies with a feather-shaped member crossing a nearby companion. The two components will probably merge to form a single galaxy in the future. The pair is adorned with a number of bright blue star clusters. ESO 593-8 is located in the constellation Sagittarius, the Archer, some 650 million light-years away from Earth.
