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.

2013年8月25日 · Known collectively as Arp 271, the interacting pair spans about 130,000 light years and lies about 90 million light-years away toward the constellation of Virgo. Recent predictions hold that our Milky Way Galaxy will undergo a similar collision with the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy in a few billion years.

2018年6月2日 · Arp 271 is a pair of similarly sized interacting spiral galaxies, NGC 5426 and NGC 5427, in Virgo. It is not certain whether the galaxies are eventually going to collide or not.

2024年1月31日 · The galaxy NGC 5427 shines in the large image from Hubble, with ground-based observations showing its companion galaxy NGC 5426. Together, this pair is known as Arp 271.

2024年4月26日 · Arp 271, also known as NGC 5426/27 or VV 21a, is a pair of interacting galaxies located approximately 130 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. This stunning cosmic duo was first discovered by William Herschel on March 5, 1785, and later cataloged by Halton Arp in his atlas of peculiar galaxies under the "Connected Arms" class.

Together known as Arp 271, this gravitaional interaction is creating new stars between the two galaxies. They are 90 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo. The two galaxies are collectively about 130,000 light-years across.

NGC 5427 and NGC 5426, also known as ARP 271, are two lovely interacting galaxies. Somewhat unusual to me is the fact that they are very close to similar in appearance, showing mostly the same colors. It is not certain whether the galaxies are going to eventually collide or not.

2020年6月20日 · Arp 271 consists of two distant spiral galaxies, NGC 5426 & NGC 5427) that are interacting and gravitationally linked. The galaxies are located a whopping 130 Million light-years from earth, in the cancellation of Viro.
