The NGC 6872 group is a collection of galaxies located in the southern constellation of Pavo. It is best known for its prominent member, NGC 6872, which is a large spiral galaxy that exhibits striking features, including long tidal tails resulting from gravitational interactions with nearby galaxies. This group also includes several other galaxies, such as NGC 6868 and IC 4970. The interactions within the NGC 6872 group provide valuable insights into galaxy formation and evolution, making it an important area of study for astronomers interested in understanding the dynamics of galaxy clusters.
