These eyes are actually the cores of two galaxies. The smaller spiral galaxy on the left is IC 2163. It has been slowly “creeping” behind the larger galaxy, NGC 2207. It’s possible this pair will swing by one another repeatedly over the course of many millions of years.

Their cores and arms might eventually meld, leaving behind completely reshaped arms, and an even brighter cyclops-like “eye” at the core.
