The Antennae Galaxies (also known as NGC 4038 and 4039) are a pair of distorted colliding spiral galaxies about 70 million light-years away

The ionized gas glows in visible light

toxic atmosphere traps heat in a runaway 'greenhouse effect

This visible light wide-field image of the cluster was created from photographs taken through red and blue filters and forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2

Herschel collected the infrared light given out by dust. The bright smudges are dusty cocoons containing massive embryonic stars, which will grow up to 10 times the mass of our Sun. The small spots near the center of the image are lower mass stellar
