Antennae Galaxies

NGC 4038/4039 (Antennae Galaxies)are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus approximately 45 Mly/65 Mly away. Currently the galaxies are going through a starburst period, in which the collision of clouds of dust and gas, with entangled magnetic fields, causes rapid star formation.
