The Mice
Otherwise known as NGC 4676, located 300 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, two galaxies are engaged in a celestial dance like the cat and mouse. For this case, mouse and mouse. They have been nicknamed “The Mice” because of the long tails of stars and gas emanating from each galaxy.
