NGC 4725 & Company - Trio of Galaxies in the Berenices Coma

Image Description: Today I want to share with you the image of a trio of galaxies that are located in the Berenices Hair.

NGC 4725 is a mid-sized galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices. This galaxy isn't as well known as others but with a class 10 magnitude it's worth visiting, curious to see that it only has a spiral arm, which also gives the feeling of squeezing the core of NGC 4725.

NGC4747 is a rather peculiar galaxy, in this image we can see it in the upper right, the shape reminds me of a bird flying over the beautiful island NGC 4725. This galaxy shows symptoms of having had some kind of gravitational interaction, that look like the wings of a bird could be tidal currents, therefore it is considered that NGC 4747 is one of the galaxies companion to NGC 4725, the whole gravitational ction between both and has distorted the spiral structure NGC 4747
