NGC 4038/4039 - Viennese waltz in space

Image Description and Details :

For me as an Austrian these are clearly 2 galaxies dancing Viennese Waltz

Astrophysicists consider NGC 4038 / NGC 4039 as 2 interacting galaxies
at a distance of about 75 million light years in the constellation Corvus.
This pair of galaxies is also called Antennae galaxies, named for the long tails of gas and dust they eject.
