Image title
Barree spiral galaxy NGC 6872 in interaction with IC 4970 in the Peacock - Barred spiral interacting galaxy NGC 6872 in Pavo - The barree spiral galaxy NGC 6872 and lenticular IC 4970 are located about 300 million years away - light from Earth. NGC 6872 extends over nearly 750,000 years - light. Image obtained by the ANTU telescope of the VLT on March 29, 1999. View of the spectacular barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 obtained with FORS1 at ANTU telescope (VLT) in the morning of March 29, 1999. It is of type SBB and is accompanied by a smaller, interacting galaxy, IC 4970 of type S0 (just above the centre). The bright object to the lower right of the galaxies is a star in the Milky Way whose image has been strongly overexposed and exhibits multiple optical reflections in the telescope and instrument. There are also many other, fainter and more distant galaxies of many different forms in the field. The upper left spiral arm of NGC 6872 is significantly disturbed and is populated by a plethora of blueish objects, many of which are star - forming regions. This may have been caused by a recent passage of IC 4970 through it. This interesting system is located in the southern constellation Pavo (The Peacock). It is comparatively distant, almost 300 million light - years away. It extends over more than 7 arcmin in the sky and its real size from tip to tip is thus almost 750,000 light - years. It is in fact one of the largest known, barred spiral galaxies
