Arp 87 interacting galaxies ngc 3808a ngc 3808b zoom in
NGC 3808A is a disturbed intermediate spiral galaxy that is interacting with NGC 3808B, creating a pair of galaxies called Arp 87. The galaxies appear to be connected by a bridge of material, which was likely drawn out of the spiral's disk during a close encounter in the past. The bridge of material can be seen wrapping around the companion in a polar ring orbit.
