Description

Not far from M101 and interacting strongly with M101, lies this peculiar looking dwarf galaxy, ngc 5474. The shape of ngc 5474 has been distorted by the gravitational interaction and you can see how the nucleus has been displaced from centre. There is also evidence of new star formation.
