Sounds incredible, but Ani has discovered yesterday that there’s a galaxy a pair of galaxies called The Mice (NGC 4676)! Wow!
Quoting the Hubble Telescope website:
This pair of galaxies, NGC 4676, also known as “The Mice” for their tails of stars and gas, have collided and will eventually merge into a single galaxy. Streams of material have been tugged out of the galaxies by the force of gravity, triggering new starbirth.
When will be discovered a galaxy called Optimiced, then? ;-)
(I guess, I’ll have first to discover it…:-)
I am still staring at the sky desperatley looking to find one and call it molif, heh…;-)
If you look very carefully, imagine a face on the brightest bit on the left-most galaxy, and the next bright bit is a hand, then the long bit is a sword :P
@Lee:
I can imagine that, indeed! :-)
