NGC 4038 Antenna Galaxy

NGC 4038 Antenna Galaxy

This near-infrared image obtained with GeMS adaptive optics system reveals remarkable, colorful details in NGC 4038, one of the components of the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/NGC 4039). This starburst system, only about 10.5 million light-years distant, harbors a rich population of massive young clusters, whose formation has been triggered by the interaction of the two galaxies.
