    • System Name: Arp 86

    • Galaxies: NGC 7753 (large spiral) & NGC 7752 (smaller companion)

    • Distance from Earth: ~220 million light-years

    • Constellation: Pegasus

    • Catalog: Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (Halton Arp, 1966)

    • What’s Happening: A tidal interaction pulling stars and gas into elongated arms

    • Future Outcome: The smaller galaxy may be flung away—or fully absorbed

    • Why It Looks Attached: Gravity is stretching NGC 7752 toward its larger neighbor

    • Scientific Goal: Study how star formation behaves during galactic interactions

    • Bonus Science: Combined with ALMA data to trace cold gas where stars are born

    • Why It Matters: Shows how galaxies grow, collide, and evolve over cosmic time

    • 🐾 Feline Perspective: Still moving. Still staring. Absolutely refusing to blink.

    • Approx. 23”W x 18.5”H

    • Large format, vibrant, high-quality print on durable, semi-rigid thermoplastic.
