NGC 3432

NGC 3432 is a spiral galaxy that can be found in the constellation Leo Minor. It is currently interacting with UGC 5983, a dwarf galaxy. Tidal filaments and intense star formation can also been seen from the interaction, which is why it was listed in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.[2]

gollark: This is basically just JSON. But as XML. This is a real file found in the wild.
gollark: But you get this atrocious misuse of it.
gollark: You have a tree of nodes which need attributes *and* inner contents.
gollark: For HTML, which is technically not XML but similar, it's somewhat sensible.
