<span class="mw-page-title-main">NGC 2623</span> Interacting galaxy in the constellation Cancer

NGC 2623/Arp 243 is an interacting galaxy located in the constellation Cancer. NGC 2623 is the result of two spiral galaxies that have merged. Scientists believe that this situation is similar to what will occur to the Milky Way, which contains the Solar System, and the neighboring galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy in four billion years. Studying this galaxy and its properties have provided scientists with a better idea of the coming collision of the Milky Way and the Andromeda. Due to NGC 2623 being in the late stage of merging, the compression of the gas within the galaxy has led to a large amount of star formation, and to its unique structure of a bright core with two extending tidal tails.

NGC 1712, also known as GC 942, JH 2685, and Dunlop 112 is an open cluster in the constellation of Dorado. It is relatively small, and is located inside the Large Magellanic Cloud. NGC 1712 was originally discovered in 1826 by James Dunlop, although Herschel rediscovered it in 1834. Nine variable stars have been discovered in it so far, with three suspected to be binary systems.
