Image title
Interacting galaxies Arp 81 - Interacting galaxies Arp 81 - Arp 81 is located about 300 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Dragon. This pair of interacting galaxies is composed of NGC 6621 on the left and NGC 6622 on the right. NGC 6621 is the largest of the two galaxies. The collision, seen here about 100 million years later, caused intense star flames. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on 15 March 1999. NGC 6621/2 (VV 247, Arp 81) is a strongly interacting pair of galaxies, seen about 100 million years after their closest approach. It consists of NGC 6621 (to the left) and NGC 6622 (to the right). NGC 6621 is the larger of the two, and is a very disturbed spiral galaxy. The encounter has pulled a long tail out of NGC 6621 that has now wrapped behind its body. The collision has also triggered extensive star formation between the two galaxies. Scientists believe that Arp 81 has a richer collection of young massive star clusters than the notable Antennae galaxies (which are much closer than Arp 81). The pair is located in the constellation of Draco, approximately 300 million light - years away from Earth. Arp 81 is the 81st galaxy in ARP's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
