The Tadpole Galaxy, also known as UGC 10214[2] and Arp 188, [3] is a disrupted barred spiral galaxy located 420 million light-years from Earth in the northern constellation Draco. Its most dramatic feature is a trail of stars about 280,000 light-years long.

2024年7月4日 · One story goes that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of Arp 188 - from right to left in this view - and was slung around behind the Tadpole by their gravitational attraction. During the close encounter, tidal forces drew out the spiral galaxy's stars, gas, and dust forming the spectacular tail.

In Halton Arp's «Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies» from 1966 the galaxy is listed as Arp 188 as a galaxy with narrow filaments. He noted: «Disturbance inside W arm, filament may originate there.» This galaxy became famous through a photograph taken in 2002 by the Hubble Space Telescope . The nickname «Tadpole» is understandable if you take a ...
