Remarks: |
NGC 5917 is the slightly distorted
but still recognizable spiral galaxy forming the upper part of this galaxy
trio. In the center, a significantly more deformed galaxy, known as PGC
54817 or MCG-01-39-003, can be seen. The gravitational interactions between
the two galaxies are clearly visible and have even created a stellar stream
connecting them—seen even more distinctly in an inverted version of the
image below. |
Bemerkungen: |
NGC 5917 ist die leicht verformte, aber noch als
Spiralgalaxie erkennbare Galaxie, die den oberen Teil dieses Galaxientrios
bildet. In der Mitte befindet sich eine deutlich stärker verzerrte Galaxie,
die als PGC 54817 oder auch MCG-01-39-003 bezeichnet wird. Die gravitativen
Wechselwirkungen zwischen den beiden Galaxien sind deutlich erkennbar und
haben sogar einen Sternstrom zwischen ihnen entstehen lassen – noch besser
sichtbar in einer invertierten Version des Bildes unten. |
