Spiral galaxy in Ursa Major
NGC 3718, also called Arp 214, is a galaxy located approximately 52 million light years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. Near NGC 3718 is the galaxy NGC 3729, a peculiar barred spiral galaxy.
NGC 3718 exhibits a warped, S-shape similar to NGC 6872, possibly a result of gravitational interaction with NGC 3729, another spiral galaxy located 150,000 light-years away (NGC 3718 – Wikipedia).
