Peculiar Galaxy
The Peculiar Galaxy, also known as NGC 2623, is a unique galaxy located about 250 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer. It is classified as a merger of two galaxies, resulting in its unusual shape and structure. This galaxy exhibits signs of intense star formation, often referred to as a starburst phase, due to the gravitational interactions between the merging galaxies.
The Peculiar Galaxy is notable for its bright, irregular appearance and the presence of a supermassive black hole at its center. Observations of this galaxy provide valuable insights into the processes of galaxy formation and evolution, contributing to our understanding of the universe's dynamics.
