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.
