NGC 3256 is a peculiar galaxy formed from the collision of two separate galaxies in the constellation of Vela. NGC 3256 is located about 100 million light-years away and belongs to the Hydra–Centaurus Supercluster complex. NGC 3256 provides a nearby template for studying the properties of young star clusters in tidal tails. The system hides a double nucleus and a tangle of dust lanes in the central region. The telltale signs of the collision are two extended luminous tails swirling out from the galaxy. The tails are studded with a particularly high density of star clusters.[2] NGC 3256 is the most luminous galaxy in the infrared spectrum located within z 0.01 from Earth.[3]
Three supernovae have been seen in NGC 3256: SN 2001db (Type II, mag. 16.3),[4] SN 2018ec (Type Ic, mag. 15.1),[5] and SN 2021afuq (Type Ic, mag. 16).[6]
