NGC 4676 or "The Mice", nicknamed as such because of the elongated tail-like extensions of stars and gas that stem from them, are a pair of colliding galaxies located approximately 300 million light-years away in the Coma Berenices constellation. The "tails" are caused by the varying levels of gravitational pull they exert on each other on the near and far parts both galaxies.
