Description

NGC 4618 and NGC 4625 are both single armed dwarf galaxies about 25 MLy's away in the constellation Canes Venatici.  It is thought that they are both single armed due to gravitational interactions between them.  The dim outer disk seen on NGC 4625 may have also formed from interactions with NGC 4618.
