About this image: A beautiful image of two colliding galaxies. The Antennae galaxies, located about 62 million light-years from Earth, take their name from the long antenna-like "arms," seen in wide-angle views of the system. These features were produced by tidal forces generated in the collision. The collision began more than 100 million years ago and is still occurring.
