* The distance to any galaxy is difficult to measure, and it is common for different methods to yield slightly variant results. Even in that context, however, different sources cite widely varying distance estimates for the Antennae Galaxies. The figure shown above, about 45 million light years, is the most widely quoted, but other sources place these galaxies as close as 16 million light years, or as distant as 69 million.
