The Mice Galaxies (which are also known as NGC 4676) is a pair of interacting galaxies located some 300 million light years away toward the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxies are named because the long streams of stars, gas, and dust thrown off of each of the galaxies as a result of their interaction resemble the tails of a pair of mice. The Mice Galaxies will eventually merge to form a single galaxy.
