  NGC 4774 is a collisional ring galaxy. The collider is the small galaxy above it, see link.

  Is that a second ring at 1 o'clock btw? Smaller or background

  Yes, it certainly looks like a ring, but of course it's impossible to say if it was formed at the same time as the collision.

  Yeah, it is not even a photometric object in SDSS. I think this may be an overlooked #collisional-ring ( associated or not with NGC 4774)

  What a strange object. How many galaxies do you think collided to make this? #starforming #ring #merger

  Collisional Ring galaxies are formed when a smaller galaxy passes through the center of a larger galaxy.
