Image of Arp 85, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy or M51, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Large, high surface brightness companions. Halton Arp mistakenly believed that the smaller galaxy, NGC 5195, was being ejected from the Whirlpool. In reality, the two galaxies are in the process of merging.

Scientists discover smallest galaxy ever seen: 'It's like having a perfectly functional human being that's the size of a grain of rice'
Image of Arp 10, also known as UGC 1775, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Split arms. A galaxy likely collided with Arp 10 near its center, forming a density wave that rippled outwards. This created a ring of new stars in the freshly compacted gas.
How often does it happen that a hugely popular guitarist moves on and starts a completely different career. Also the caption: astrophysicist “and guitarist” in that order. I learned he also collects antique stereoscopes #space #spaceexploration #guitar
