{"product_id":"mice-galaxies-ngc-4676-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Mice Galaxies (NGC 4676) – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eNGC 4676, better known as the Mice Galaxies, occupies the right half of this Hubble Space Telescope view as a pair of interacting galaxies caught in a strikingly uneven arrangement. One is compact and cream-coloured, its bright centre enclosed by a diffuse halo; the other extends diagonally beneath it, opening into a broad blue stream whose delicate outer strands fade into darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system lies around 300 million light years from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices. Against that distance, the clarity of its structure is remarkable: concentrated cores, mottled inner regions and faintly luminous extensions remain distinct, while the surrounding field is scattered with tiny points and softly coloured background forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarm cream and orange gather around the galaxies’ brightest regions, edged by cooler blue. These colours are set against a near-black field, giving the pair an almost suspended quality. The result is both serene and visibly unsettled: two defined concentrations of light embedded within forms that stretch far beyond them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated galaxy provides the image’s strongest line. Beginning near the bright central pairing, its light travels downwards and outwards before thinning into several narrow blue strands along the right-hand edge. The stream is not uniform: brighter knots and darker interruptions give it a finely worked texture, particularly where the cream-coloured centre gives way to the cooler outer material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbove and to the left, the second galaxy is quieter in outline but dense in detail. Its compact core glows through a pale surrounding haze, with darker patches breaking the light near its inner region. The apparent closeness of the two galaxies creates the visual tension of the composition, while the open darkness to the left makes their extended shapes feel even more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe background becomes increasingly absorbing at large scale. Fine white points are interspersed with dim orange and red specks, and a faint curled form can be discerned near the lower centre. Some are sharp, others barely emerge from the black, producing a field with considerable depth without distracting from the interacting pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mice Galaxies, NGC 4676\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interacting galaxies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coma Berenices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 million light years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 April 2002, 15:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASA , Holland Ford (JHU), the ACS Science Team and ESA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right size and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine art can feel intimate at smaller sizes and more architectural at larger ones.
