This image shows two galaxies, M60, and NGC 4647. M60 is the very bright one in the center, while NGC 4647 is the blue, spiral galaxy in the upper right corner. M60 is larger, about 120,000 light years in diameter, while NGC 4647 is only about 90,000 light years in diameter. There is a good chance that these two galaxies will collide in the future, much like the Milky Way may collide with the Andromeda galaxy.
