Pixel-by-pixel colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams—based on a subset of the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Early Release Observations—provide a powerful technique to explore and deduce the star and star cluster formation histories of the Mice and the Tadpole interacting galaxies. In each interacting system we find some …
