In the left corner, coming from the constellation Ursa Major, weighing in at 125 billion times the mass of the sun, designation M108 the Surfboard Galaxy! To the right, lightweight division M97, weighing in at 1/10th the mass of our sun, still blasting interstellar winds at the age of 8,000, the Owl Nebula! Together, I call them... Arkanoid.
