Description

This image shows three dominant galaxies - NGC 467, NGC 470, and NGC 474. Two galaxies, NGC 470 - SA(rs)b and NGC 474 - SA0^0(s), form a galaxy pair - they have similar velocities, redshift and distance estimates.  Two galaxies, NGC 467  - SA0^0(s) pec and NGC474 have peculiar shapes. These three galaxies range in distance from 92 to 235 million light years.  Two background galaxies  - PGC 4765 (88 million light years) and PGC 4755 (245 million light years)  are in the distance range of the three dominant galaxies. Other background galaxies  are further in estimated distance.  The furthest objects are the Quasars and their distances range from 2.482 to 12.26 billion years (Lookback).  These objects, information, background galaxies, and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image
