Arp Bot 🤖Image of Arp 293, also known as NGC 6285 and NGC 6286, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Wind effects. NGC 6285 (left) and NGC 6286 (right) have roughly equal masses. Their mutual gravitational attraction pulls streams of gas, stars, and dust from the galaxies as they interact.
