The NGC 6872/IC 4970 system is a pair of interacting galaxies located in the constellation Pavo. NGC 6872 is a large spiral galaxy, while IC 4970 is a smaller, irregular galaxy. Together, they form a striking visual display, showcasing the effects of gravitational interaction. This system is approximately 200 million light-years away from Earth. The interaction between the two galaxies has led to the formation of new stars and distinctive tidal tails, which are elongated structures of stars and gas. The NGC 6872/IC 4970 system is a fascinating example of galactic evolution and interaction.
