| Notes: |
This galaxy
is also known as Arp 214 and is about 42
million light years away. Arp is a catalog of irregular galaxies. The
center of this galaxy is almost edge on, but it is strongly warped so that the arms
can be seen. The group of galaxies to the right side are called Arp 322, and
Hickson 56; these are about 300 million light years distant. |
