The Hubble Space Telescope has captured two tangled galaxies, whose interactions have caused knots to form in the "queen's hair."
The galactic duo, formally known as MCG+05-31-045, is located 390 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, which means "Berenice's Hair" in Latin and refers to Queen Berenice II, a ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt more than 2,000 years ago. The larger elliptical galaxy is pulling material from a smaller neighboring galaxy, distorting its spiral arms.
