NGC 4027

NGC 4027 (also known as Arp 22) is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 83 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Corvus. It is also a peculiar galaxy because one of its spiral arms goes out more than the other. This is probably due to a galactic collision in NGC 4027's past.

Galaxy group information

NGC 4027 is part of the NGC 4038 Group, a group of galaxies that also contains the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/NGC 4039).[3][4][5][6]

gollark: I'm not saying much about the *other* exploit, because that would provide clues about it.
gollark: There are issues I know of in GPS (pretty obvious, hard to exploit, hard to patch), rednet repeaters (not useful to exploit, easy to patch, not too obvious), rednet itself (obvious, easily exploitable, but most people making serious programs are already aware), potatOS (very non-obvious, not a huge issue as accidental RCE still isn't possible, easy to exploit if you know how).
gollark: We should make CVEs for useless CC bugs!
gollark: I was just roughly talking about some I know of.
gollark: They're not officially named.
