Description

It is a spectacular coincidence that this small area of sky includes 2 examples of interacting galaxies. The first pair is NGC 5754 and NGC 5752 which are about 210 million light years away. The other example is NGC 5755 and NGC 5753 which are twice as far away and therefore are not physically related to the former pair.

The galaxies are included in ATLAS OF PECULIAR GALAXIES as ARP 297.

Enjoy!
Vitali
