This is the clearest image of the Antena galaxies. They have achieved this through the Hubble telescope and show that by joining the two galaxies billions of stars have been born. Newly created stars appear in groups and larger, compact groups are the brightest and most prominent in the image. On the other hand, both galaxies began to come together 500 million years ago, so this is the closest and youngest example of the union of galaxies.
