NGC 806

NGC 806 is a spiral galaxy approximately 166 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus.[1] It was discovered by American astronomer Lewis A. Swift on November 1, 1886 with the 16" refractor at Warner Observatory.[4]

Interaction with galaxy PGC 3100716
NGC 806 and PGC 3100716 (SDSS)

NGC 806 and PGC 3100716 form a pair of galaxies in gravitational interaction. These two galaxies are either colliding or are the result of a collision.[5]

PGC 3100716 is a spiral galaxy with an apparent size of 0.09 by 0.08 arcmin.[1] It was not included in the original version of the New General Catalogue, and was later added as NGC 806-2.[3]

gollark: I vaguely remember VP9 being slower to software encode than H.265, but I'm not sure if that's actually true.
gollark: There are licensing bees and it's too much for some bad computers to do in software.
gollark: H.264 is fairly universal, YouTube likes VP9 and occasionally AV1, and some people like H.265.
gollark: Codecs are rather complex now, so containers generally support many different ones and codecs can go in different containers.
gollark: No.
