| 説明 | This pair of interacting galaxies appears in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies compiled by astronomer Halton Arp in 1966, giving the pair its name “Arp 86.”The peculiarity? The small companion galaxy, NGC 7752, almost seems attached to the large spiral galaxy dominating this image, NGC 7753.The gravitational dance between the two galaxies, which are roughly 220 million light-years from Earth, will eventually result in NGC 7752 being tossed out into intergalactic space or entirely engulfed by its much larger neighbor.Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, Dark Energy Survey, J.
