NGC 2992 is a Seyfert galaxy located 103 million light years distant in the equatorialconstellation of Hydra. It was discovered in 1785 by William Herschel.The morphological classification of this galaxy is Sa, indicating a spiral with no central bar. The plane of the galaxy is inclined at an angle of 70° to the line of sight from the Earth, so it is being viewed from nearly edge on. A prominent dust lane extends along the major axis, crossing the nucleus.The nearby companion galaxy NGC 2993 is located less than 3′ to the southeast of NGC 2292. It is located at a distance of 100 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 2293 is about 160,000 light years across. It was discovered by John Herschel on January 20, 1835. The two are linked by a tidal bridge of ionized hydrogen and there are tidal tails to the southeast of NGC 2993 and the north of NGC 2292. The encounter between these galaxies may be the trigger for the active nucleus in NGC 2992. There is a significant amount of dust obscuring the nucleus and cones of material outflowing from the core at nearly right angles to the alignment of the galaxy. NuSTAR observations suggest there is an ultra-fast outflow component with a velocity of 0.21±0.01
