Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows NGC 4567 and NGC 4568 in the rich Virgo Galaxy Cluster (NGC 4564 also is in the view). More than just being a pair of spirals, they are a pair that is "interacting" with each other. Galaxies in Collision! Sounds dramatic! Well, in actuality, it's a lot slower and a lot less dramatic as a result in the short term. Over the long term, both galaxies can end up dramatically altered.
