Description

Some 270 million light years away, the two galaxies of the 7753 system make a beautiful pair in Pegasus, swimming amidst the Integrated Flux Nebula of our own galaxy. 7753 is a barred spiral that has spawned several novae over the recent years of human observation, while it's tiny neighbor, 7752, is a lenticular galaxy containing a bar of its own. It is thought that 7752 is directly connected to one of 7753's extended spiral arms.
