Image title
Galaxies NGC 3718 in the Great Bear - Galaxy NGC 3718 in Ursa Major - NGC 3718 (Arp 214) is a special galaxy located about 42 million years ago - light from the Earth in the constellation Big Bear. It's an active nucleus galaxy. Its tormented form is probably due to the attraction exerted by another galaxy, NGC 3729 (off-field). On the right, Arp 322 (or Hickson 56), is a group of 5 galaxies far farther away, located about 300 million years from Earth. NGC 3718 (Arp 214) seems to have a rudimentary bar and spiral structure although it is recognized as a peculiar galaxy and as such is listed within ARP's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. NGC 3718 contains an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and is known as a Seyfert type 1.9 galaxy. Its strange shape is probably due to a gravitational interaction with its companion NGC 3729 (out of field). A grouping of 5 background galaxies 300 million light years distant are projected at right of NGC 3718 and are designated Arp 322 (also Hickson 56). Several members of the group appear to be a strongly interacting
