Description

NGC 772 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Aries. Also known as Arp 78 it is an unusual galaxy with a companion elliptical galaxy (NGC 770) and it is theorized that tidal forces from this companion may have caused the formation of the single spiral arm that is more developed than the other arms.

Capturing this from my Red Zone was a nice accomplishment for me personally!
