NGC 5566
This image shows 3 interacting galaxies approximately 90 million light-years away, in the
constellation of Virgo. NGC 5566 is a large galaxy, about 150,000 light-years across, and it is
the biggest in the image to the left. Just below it lies smaller NGC 5569. To the right center is
NGC 5560, which is somewhat stretched by gravitational interaction. This group is also
known as Arp 286.
