Arp 271 is a pair of similarly sized interacting spiral galaxies, NGC 5426 and NGC 5427, in the constellation of Virgo. It is not certain whether the galaxies are going to eventually collide or not.

1997年10月21日 · NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are a pair of similarly sized interacting spiral galaxies, together also known as Arp 271, 120 million light years away. It is not certain if this interaction they undergo will end in a collision and ultimately in a merging of the two galaxies or if the galaxies will experience just a very close encounter.

1997年10月21日 · Object Name A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. This Hubble Space Telescope image provides a detailed look at a brilliant "fireworks show" at the center of a collision between two galaxies. Hubble has uncovered over 1,000 bright, young star clusters bursting to life as a result of the head-on wreck.

2018年5月22日 · The two interacting galaxies — NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 — together form an intriguing astronomical object named Arp 271, the subject of this, the final image captured by VIMOS. Two spiral galaxies are locked in a spellbinding, swirling dance in this image from the VIMOS instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).

NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 (ARP 271) is a rarely photographed interacting galaxy pair in the constellation Virgo. Approximately 90 million light years from Earth, this galaxy pair spans 130,000 light years across. Because these two galaxies are similar in size, it is unlikely that one will be devoured by the other.

NGC 5426/7: Image taken in 2010 with the 3.58m New Technology Telescope in Chile. © ESO Physical Properties. NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are two spiral galaxies of similar sizes and spiral structure. They are engaged in a dramatic dance and show tidal distortion.

Spiral galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are passing dangerously close to each other, but each is likely to survive this collision. Most frequently when galaxies collide, a large galaxy eats a much smaller galaxy. In this case, however, the two galaxies are quite similar, each being a sprawling spiral with expansive arms and a compact core.

NGC 5426 is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Virgo in the equatorial region. NGC 5426's distance from Earth is 111,075,815.99 light years. NGC 5426 is called NGC 5426 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

2024年7月22日 · Arp 271 is a pair of similarly sized interacting spiral galaxies, NGC 5426 and NGC 5427. These galaxies may eventually collide or not. They are located about 130 million light-years away, the Arp 271 pair is about 130,000 light-years across.
