Description

This cluster, known as NGC 4038 group, has five galaxies in total, and the two galaxies in collision are called tentacles galaxies. This is named after the two long tails formed by the collision of galaxies, which are composed of stars, gas and dust, and are very similar to the tentacles of insects. The whole looks like a love. The core is integrated by collision and surrounded by stars and gas.
