NGC 3718 / ARP 214

NGC 3718, also called ARP 214, is a galaxy located approximately 52 million light years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major and has a diameter of about 110,000 light years. It is either a lenticular or spiral galaxy.

NGC 3718 has a warped, s-shape. This may be due to gravitational interaction between it and NGC 3729, another spiral galaxy located 150,000 light-years away.

NGC 3718 is a member of the Ursa Major Cluster.

To the right of NGC 3718 is the remarkable Hickson Group 56. The Hickson Group 56 is made up of five interacting galaxies and is more than 400 million light years away.
