Mickey Mouse and Arp 155

Whilst analysing some images in various wavelengths for the peculiar galaxy ARP 155 I found something even stranger when low and behold on retreiving an archived image Mickey Mouse should appear.

He has eyes and everything! And he’s sooo cute! and I promise this is real and is not a photoshop trick.

Here’s a snapshot of the ALADIN Interface server selector I was using to retrieve the image

So, when Walt Disney was creating his characters, he had ARP 155 to thank for his inspiration!
