The sky on
your birthday.
“The Antennae” is copyrighted by Daniel Verschatse (Antilhue Observatory). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Antennae Galaxies, NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, are colliding some 60 million light-years away in the constellation Corvus. Stars in the two galaxies do not collide, but their large clouds of molecular gas and dust do. This triggers furious episodes of star formation. This stunning view reveals new star clusters and matter flung far from the scene by gravitational forces.
