two spiral shaped objects in the middle of a star filled sky with stars around them

WASTED on Instagram: "The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) collided gravitationally, forming a vast heart-like shape visible in space. Located 60 million light years away, they have been merging for a billion years, triggering star formation through colliding interstellar gases. Their iconic antennae structures and cosmic dance are expected to continue for another billion years."

two spiral galaxy like objects in the sky

Time for me to share another Hubble image in vertical format that you're free to use as a wall paper or background. This one shows two main galaxies colliding as well as thousands of other galaxies that appear smaller because they are much farther away. The colliding galaxies are named The Mice because of the long tails of gas. Cory Poole Photography

Some 60 million light-years away in the southerly constellation Corvus, two large galaxies are colliding. The stars in the two galaxies, cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, very rarely collide in the course of the ponderous cataclysm, lasting hundreds of millions of years. But their large clouds of molecular gas and dust often do, triggering furious episodes of star formation near the center of the cosmic wreckage. NASA/ESA/Hubble, R.W.
