Remarks: |
These galaxies
are located in the constellation of Cetus, not far from the star Delta Ceti,
and are presumably gravitationally bound (M77 group). It is probably the
gravitational influence of the neighboring galaxy that causes NGC 1055 to
have a strange X-shaped form. |
Bemerkungen: |
Diese Galaxien befinden sich im
Sternbild Walfisch, unweit des Sterns Delta Ceti und sind vermutlich
gravitativ gebunden (M77 Gruppe). Vermutlich ist es der gravitative Einfluss
der Nachbargalaxie, die bei NGC 1055 eine seltsame X-förmige Form
verursacht. |
