IRAS 06076-2139 is a pair of unusual interacting galaxies located in the constellation of Lepus about 538 million light years[2] from Earth, making it a local universe type galaxy.
The two galaxies are fairly close to each other at just 200,000 light years.
[3] These two galaxies are interacting and rushing by each other at a speed of 2 million kilometers (1,243,000 miles) per hour.
Due to their speed, they are unlikely to merge with each other.
