NGC 6745 (also known as UGC 11391) is an irregular galaxy about 206 million light-years (63.5 mega-parsecs) away in the constellation Lyra. It is actually a triplet of galaxies in the process of colliding.The three galaxies have been colliding for hundreds of millions of years. After passing through the larger galaxy (NGC 6745A) the smaller one (NGC 6745B) is now moving away. The larger galaxy was probably a spiral galaxy before the collision but was damaged and now appears peculiar.
