Abstract
I will confine this brief review to just two examples of galaxies that seem to have interacted recently with impressive consequences:
-
(1)
the well-known Messier 51 system NGC 5194/5 = deservedly VV 1, and
-
(2)
the so-called Cartwheel, a ring within a ring, separated by vaguely spokelike features and accompanied by two smaller galaxies.
