NGC 2775 is located approximately 67 million light-years away in the northern constellation of Cancer. It belongs to the Antilia-Hydra Cloud of galaxies and is the main member of a small group of galaxies called the NGC 2775 group. “NGC 2775 sports a smooth, featureless center that is devoid of gas, resembling an elliptical galaxy,” the Hubble astronomers said in a statement. “Invisible in this Hubble image, NGC 2775 has a tail of hydrogen gas that stretches almost 100,000 light-years around the galaxy,” the researchers said. “This faint tail could be the remnant of one or more galaxies that wandered too close to NGC 2775 before being stretched apart and absorbed.”“If NGC 2775 merged with other galaxies in the past, it could explain the galaxy’s strange appearance today.”“A Hubble image of NGC 2775 was previously released in 2020,” they said.
