Description:
NGC 6872, also known as the Condor Galaxy, is the largest known spiral galaxy, stretching an astonishing 522,000 light-years across. This colossal galaxy is five times the size of our Milky Way. The immense size of NGC 6872 is due to its gravitational interaction with a smaller galaxy, IC 4970. This interaction has stretched its spiral arms to extraordinary lengths, creating a spectacular and sprawling structure. NGC 6872's active core and bright star-forming regions make it a fascinating subject for astronomers. Its immense size and unique features offer valuable insights into galactic formation and evolution.
