>> Happy Lunar New Year 2020: The Year of the Rat
>> Hubble welcomes the year of the Rat with a view of its own favorite rodents.
>> These interacting galaxies, NGC 4676A and B, are known as "The Mice."
>> The long tails are caused by tidal forces as the galaxies dance together.
>> While the western zodiac is divided into 12 sections every Earth year...
>> ...ancient Chinese astrologers built their zodiac on a 12-year cycle.
>> It was calculated using one of Hubble's other favorite targets...
>> ...the planet Jupiter, which has a 12-year orbit around the Sun.
>> From Hubble's team to you... Happy Lunar New Year!
