NGC 6040 is a galaxy group located in the constellation Hercules. It consists of at least three galaxies, with the most prominent being NGC 6040A, a spiral galaxy. This group is notable for its interactions and gravitational influences among its member galaxies, which can lead to unique structural features and star formation activities. The distance to NGC 6040 is approximately 200 million light-years from Earth. It is part of a larger structure known as the Hercules Supercluster, which contains many other galaxies and clusters. Observations of NGC 6040 contribute to our understanding of galaxy evolution and dynamics.
