Hubble Space Telescope image of the Antennae galaxies is the sharpest yet of this merging pair of galaxies. During the course of the collision, billions of stars will be formed. The brightest and most compact of these star birth regions are called super star clusters. The image allows astronomers to better distinguish between the stars and super star clusters created in the collision of two spiral galaxies. And it allows you to own a little piece of the night sky, and a spectacular one at that.Object Name: NGC 4038/4039, Antennae Galaxy Object Description: Interacting Galaxy Position (J2000): R.A. 12h 01m 53s.18 Dec. -18° 52' 52 ".4 Constellation: Corvus Distance: 62 million light-years (19 Megaparsecs) About the Data Data Description: This image was created from HST data from proposal 10188: B. Whitmore (STScI), M. Rieke (University of Arizona), F. Schweizer (Carnegie Institution of Washington), W. Blair (Johns Hopkins University), G. Rieke (University of Arizona), C. Leitherer (STScI), A. Alonso-Herrero (Spanish National Research Council), and S. Mengel (European Southern Observatory, Germany). Instrument: ACS/WFC Exposure Date(s): July 21, 2004 and February 16, 2005 Exposure Time: 4.9 hours Filters: F435W (B), F550M (y), F658N (Halpha+[N II]), and F814W (I) About the Image Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and B. Whitmore (STScI) Release Date: October 17, 2006 Color This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope using several different filters. Four filters were used to sample broad and narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are:F435W (B) blue F550M (y) green F658N (Halpha+[N II]) pink F814W (I) redAs with all NASA images, this is in the PD.
