The second sits on the north-east arm of the first, and they are at roughly the same distance, about 141 and 136 million light-years. Several clues suggest that they are interacting, to the point that they may one day merge. In the photo, the core of NGC 6907 and a curved arm stand out, and NGC 6908 is the bright knot at the elbow of that arm.
