Galaxy M81, Amazing New Picture.

Yeah, I was gonna say, that looks like two galaxies as well, and since a lot of other people mentioned that, odds are it is correct. It is definitely NOT a black hole, though. Think about the distances involved in that picture. A black hole cannot attract matter from a galaxy-length away. (well, not unless the black hole was so insanely huge that I don't even want to think about it...)

I think we just happened to get that picture from the angle that we saw the galaxies in that position. They might not even be anywhere near close to each other, just in the same line of sight. One might be, say, ten times bigger but ten times further away, as well. Sometimes it can be hard to tell with astronomical objects.

Here's a picture of M81 and M82 showing how close they are to each other.
