Introduction | Map | My Own Photos | My Own Observations | References
On this page I collect my observations of the galaxies NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, also called Antennae Galaxies, in the constellation Corvus.
The galaxies NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, also called Antennae Galaxies, in the constellation Corvus strongly interact with one another.
On the Vespera Pro photo, I also find the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4027. All the galaxies are members of the NGC 4038 Galaxy Group (LGG 263, 27 members).
