Filsh and Talmek are twins from NGC 5426 and NGC 5427, twin spiral galaxies within Virgo. (No, not Gemini.) That they do not appear identical should come as no surprise since they each reside on nonidentical twin planets within their respective nonidentical twin galaxies. However, their distant progeny will look more and more similar as the eons pass, as the galaxies are on a collision course.
