Description

Those two galaxies are like a couple dating for a while , but not yet there to make the next step.
NGC 5033 has one “marriage” behind and is showing off with bright nucleus, nice spirals and 3 recent supernovae.
It seems that NGC 5033 is in fact the result of ancient merger of two galaxies. NGC 5005 is a bit shy and reserved .
There is gravitational interaction between the galaxies, but they are not yet close enough to be distorted
