NGC 3718, also called Arp 214, is a galaxy located approximately 52 million light years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major.[4][2][5] It is either a lenticular or spiral galaxy.[6]

NGC 3718 exhibits a warped, S-shape similar to NGC 6872, possibly a result of gravitational interaction with NGC 3729, another spiral galaxy located 150,000 light-years away.[7]

NGC 3718 is a member of the Ursa Major Cluster.[8]

Hickson Compact Group

[edit]

South of NGC 3718 the Hickson Compact Group #56 is located. HCG 56 is a compact group of galaxies of which 4 members are interacting with each other. This group is about 120 Mpc distant to our galaxy,[9] which is about 8 times more distant than NGC 3718.
