This is a photo of the galaxy group Stephan's Quintet. This image was constructed with data from the Hubble telescope and the Subaru telescope on top of Mauna Kea. All five galaxies are gathered toward the center of the field while only four of the five are really locked together. The interacting galaxies have a more yellowish glow. Stephan's Quintet lies within the boundaries of the constellation Pegasus.Saturday, March 29, 2014
