| Description | This target was captured on a dark night, with only so-so seeing. This is a classic Arp object, relatively large and bright by comparison to many. Arp's comment is simply: "Both intersecting edges seem dimmed. " which is true enough but leaves me wondering why it matters. This seems another example where Arp's fetish against galaxy merger seems misplaced. Because the smaller galaxy attaches at the top of the spiral and not at the end of the big arms, Arp can't call it a "companion". |
