NGC 3227 is a Seyfert galaxy that interacts strongly with dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226.
NGC
The acronym NGC stands for "New General Catalogue" and usually precedes a number in the catalogue, like NGC 4258 for example. The catalogue refers to objects which are extended and distinctly non-star like in nature.

More information was added in the 20 next years such that its listings reached close to 15,000 objects. Astronomers refer to galaxies and nebulae by their NGC numbers. For example, the Crab Nebula is called NGC1952.
In contrast, the Andromeda galaxy, which is also known as M31 and as NGC 224, is much small on the sky, less than three degrees in length, which is larger than the Moon or the Sun.
The second, known as NGC 5195, is interacting with M51. The outer regions of the two galaxies actually touch each other. M51 is located about 37 million light-years from Earth. Under dark skies, it is an easy target for small telescopes.
