PGC 1228197

PGC 1228197 known as WINGS J211347.41+022834.9 and JO206, is a large spiral galaxy located 700 million light-years away towards the constellation of Aquarius. The galaxy is estimated to be at least 160,000 light-years in diameter, making it somehow bigger than the Milky Way. With a radial velocity of 15,200 kilometers per second, it is slowly drifting away. It is classified as a jellyfish galaxy, mainly due to interactions from other galaxies, causing it to run into intracluster medium and stripping the gas from it, which causes long galactic tendrils of stars. It has an active galactic nucleus according to SIMBAD.
