Hubble image of Arp 299, also known as NGC 3690.
Interactions between these two galaxies triggered a fierce burst of star formation, making Arp 299 one of the most powerful nearby starburst galaxies. At least 10 supernovae have been recorded in the galaxies, although there have likely been more, hidden by the large amount of interstellar dust in the merger.
