#PPOD: A collision between two galaxies has resulted in a merged star system with an unusual appearance and bizarre internal motions. Messier 64 (M64) features a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus, giving rise to its nicknames, the "Black Eye" or "Evil Eye" galaxy.
