| Description | Arp's designated this cluster as one of a group of "Galaxies with jets." The image suggests that NGC 7609 is in fact two galaxies, a larger one (left) connected to a smaller one by two major arms. The "jet" is likely the emanations from the smaller 7609 galactic center, but that's just a guess. It's more readily seen as an inverted (negative) image, so I prepped the "comparison" accordingly. |
