Summary edit

Description

I'm not really sure what is going on here, but have come to expect that with Prop15446 galaxies. The smaller galaxy seems drawn toward the larger one, but I wonder whether it has already made its first pass of the more massive galaxy. There is a curious scattering of loose stars directly across from the small galaxy on the other side of the larger one.

A ground-based color view from the DECaLS viewer is here: legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=174.4351&dec=47.8932&z...
