your birthday.
“Exploring the Antennae” is copyrighted by Bernard Miller. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAbout 60 million light-years away in the constellation Corvus, two large galaxies, NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, are colliding. While stars rarely collide, the galaxies' large clouds of molecular gas and dust frequently do, triggering furious episodes of star formation near the center of the cosmic wreckage. This stunning view spans over 500,000 light-years, revealing the dramatic effects of this ongoing collision.
