This colliding pair of spiral galaxies is nicknamed “The Mice” because of the long tails of stars and gas emanating from each galaxy.

Otherwise called NGC 4676, this pair will eventually merge into a single giant galaxy.

NGC 4676 is located about 300 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.
