#SkyWatch #Astrophotography These galaxies are 25 to 30 million light years from Earth. The #WhaleGalaxy aka #NGC4631 is an edge on galaxy with so many supernovae in its starburst center that they are creating superwinds that are blowing the gas out of the galaxy. The small dwarf galaxy to its left is #NGC4627. The #HockeyStickGalaxies are #NGC4656 with #NGC4657 forming the blade. #StillLearning
