- 1Telescope image captures spiral galaxy NGC 2276 distorted by neighbor●Ground-based image of Arp 25, also known as NGC 2276. NGC 2276 (left) is being pulled by the neighboring galaxy NGC 2300
A newly shared ground-based image shows Arp 25, also known as NGC 2276, a spiral galaxy being gravitationally pulled by its neighbor NGC 2300. The distortion has triggered intense star formation along NGC 2276's spiral arms, while NGC 2300 is composed of aging yellow-white stars and lacks spiral arms. Space enthusiasts are sharing and discussing the striking pair.
