text:
NGC 2623 (also known as ARP 243) is an interacting galaxy located around 263 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer. It was discovered on 19 January 1885 by French astronomer Édouard Jean-Marie Stephan. Due to NGC 2623 being in the late stage of merging, the compression of the gas within the galaxy has led to a large amount of star formation, and to its unique structure of a bright core with two extending tidal tails. NGC 2623 does not have an active galactic nucleus. One supernova
