MCG+04-35-019

MCG+04-35-019 is a galaxy in the constellation Boötes. MCG +04-35-019, also known as VV 340b consists of a pair of very gas-rich spiral galaxies in their early stages of interaction. An enormous amount of infrared light is radiated by the gas from massive stars that are forming at a rate similar to the most vigorous giant star-forming regions in our own Milky Way. MCG+04-35-019 is 450 million light-years away from Earth, and is the 302nd galaxy in Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
