The Antennae Galaxies

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Two galaxies, NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, are colliding. This ground-based image shows long streams of stars and gas, called tidal tails, arcing away from the galactic cores. The collision has triggered a burst of star formation, creating over a thousand bright, young star clusters. These Antennae Galaxies are a dramatic example of how galactic interactions can reshape the universe.
