NGC 7252 is a galaxy located approximately 220 million light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. It is classified as a peculiar galaxy, resulting from the merger of two smaller galaxies. This interaction has led to a unique structure, characterized by a bright core and extended tidal tails. The galaxy is also known as the "Atoms for Peace Galaxy" due to its resemblance to a nuclear explosion. NGC 7252 is of interest to astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution, as it provides insights into the processes that occur during galactic collisions and mergers.
