| Description | NGC 7753 is a barred spiral galaxy connected via a large arm/dust lane to a much smaller spiral galaxy classified jointly as Arp 86 in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. M51, which is a famous and much larger/brighter pair of galaxies, is classified as Arp 85 in the same category. It appears that 7753's arm was distended by the gravitational pull of 7752 as it passed by from the upper left to lower right. |
