NGC 4676: When Mice Collide

These two galaxies, known as "The Mice," are pulling each other apart. Each spiral galaxy has likely passed through the other and will collide again until they merge. The long tails are created by the difference in gravitational pulls on the near and far parts of each galaxy.
