Description

NGC672 and IC1727 are two interacting galaxies that are in a sparse area of the universe. It is thought that they may be part of the NGC784 group, bound by a dark matter filament along which galaxy formation occurs. The two prominent galaxies are around about 18 million light years away, close enough that the our most powerful telescopes can resolve individual stars.
