  • sorae – The fate of a small galaxy guided by a beautiful spiral galaxy. Interacting galaxy “Arp 86”

This was introduced by sorae in the article on October 24, 2021.Special Galaxy “Arp 86”“is.

Arp 86 is the name in the “Arp Atlas,” a catalog of unusual galaxies (galaxies with unique shapes) compiled by astronomer Holton Arp in 1966, and the two galaxies are named “NGC 7752” and “NGC 7753,” respectively. ” is also called.

The larger spiral galaxy is NGC 7753, and the smaller NGC 7752 appears to be hanging from one of its spiral arms. It is predicted that due to the interaction between the two galaxies, the small NGC 7752 will eventually be ejected into the vast intergalactic space, or be absorbed entirely by the larger NGC 7753.

This appearance, which appears as if a large galaxy is holding the hand of a small galaxy, is just a moment in the long history of the universe.
