Arp 72 (NGC5996, NGC5994) Celestial hemisphere: Northern · Constellation: Serpens (Ser) · Contains: NGC 5994 · NGC 5996

2024年4月2日 · From the point of view of the “population”, Arp 72 is a fairly modest group. It consists of only two galaxies: NGC 5996 (a larger spiral galaxy) and NGC 5994 (its smaller companion, in the lower left corner of the image).

This tiny object is two interacting galaxies located 150 million light years away in the constellation of Serpens. It is in the Arp subcategory of "spiral galaxies with small high surface brightness companions on arms". I found the details of this object to be fascinating.
