... Each one is part of the galaxy we live in called the Milky Way. ... Galaxies come in a variety of shapes and sizes; many are spiral disc galaxies, like the Milky Way. ... For many years astronomers have believed that when two similar-sized spiral galaxies collide, they will mash together a type of galaxy called an elliptical galaxy, the shape of a giant squashed football. But, if two spiral galaxies make one elliptical galaxy, how are there still so many spiral galaxies in the Universe? ...

In 2001, Westerbork observations of the disturbed galaxy named VV-29 (alias Arp-188, UGC-10214) showed that there is second smaller galaxy (named VV-29c) that appears behind the western side of the main body of the distorted galaxy. ... The galaxy was featured as the May 2, 2002 Astronomy Picture of the Day . ... When VV-29 had its 15 minutes of fame in May 2002, it appeared under the name "The Tadpole Galaxy," but based on the images above, we will always think of it as "The CHAINSAW"! ...
