The Antennae interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus are located 70 million light-years away. Their centers are active regions of star formation, which arose after the collision of these galaxies. The consequences of the collision also include two long "tails" of dust and gas.

Great result, but apparently there was high humidity, which caused halos.

Yes, in Namibia the rainy season has just ended. It will get drier from now on.
