NGC 4676: When Mice Collide
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
These two spiral galaxies, known as 'The Mice' due to their long tails, are pulling each other apart. They have likely already passed through each other and will collide again until they coalesce. The long tails are formed by differences in gravitational pulls, and this cosmic interaction unfolds over hundreds of millions of years.
