Description

The galaxies NGC 4435 and NGC 4438 are approximately 52 MLY's away in the constellation Virgo and are members of the string of galaxies called Markarian's chain. The long tidal tails of NGC 4438 come from interactions with other galaxies in its neighboring group and also with its companion galaxy NGC 4435.  Recent discovery of gas filaments show interactions between NGC 4438 and its large neighbor M86.
