NGC 7625, or Arp 212, is a peculiar galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus.It was discovered on October 15, 1784, by William Herschel. [8] In his New General Catalogue (1888), J. L. E. Dreyer described it as pretty bright, considerably small, round, with a suddenly much brighter middle. [9]
These counter-tails are tidal features caused by the gravitational interactions between two galaxies, just like similar features described in the Arp catalog. Messier 32 (Arp 168), a dwarf galaxy interacting with the Andromeda Galaxy , [ 4 ] is included in this category (although the "diffuse counter-tail" is very difficult to see in Arp's ...

Halton Christian "Chip" Arp (March 21, 1927 – December 28, 2013) was an American astronomer. He is remembered for his 1966 book Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies , which catalogued unusual looking galaxies and presented their images.
NGC 772 (also known as Arp 78 or the Fiddlehead Galaxy [3]) is a large unbarred spiral galaxy approximately 106 million light-years away in the constellation Aries. It was discovered on 29 November 1785 by German-British astronomer William Herschel .
Arp 273 is a pair of interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies , compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. [ 5 ]
Arp 271 is a pair of similarly sized interacting spiral galaxies, NGC 5426 and NGC 5427, in the constellation of Virgo. It is not certain whether the galaxies are going to eventually collide or not. It is not certain whether the galaxies are going to eventually collide or not.
