Across the heart of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster lies a string of galaxies known as Markarian’s Chain. Prominent in Markarian’s Chain are these two interacting galaxies, NGC 4438 (left) and NGC 4435 – also known as The Eyes. About 50 million light-years away, the two galaxies appear to be about 100,000 light-years apart in this […]
