The Mice Galaxies (or NGC 4676) are two spiral galaxies that are colliding with together. They are located 300 million light-years from Earth in the Coma Berenices constellation.

Coverage[]

In Meet Mice Galaxies, the Mice Galaxies are shown who appear to have two different names, NGC 4676B and NGC 4676A. This is due to the Mice Galaxies being two different galaxies beforehand as neighbors, both spiral galaxies, before they collided 290 million years ago in the Coma Berenices constellation. Both galaxies are in a collision and will continue to collide for millions of years to come.
