This group of galaxies appear to revolve around a central star - an astronomical impossibility due to differences in mass and distance. Galaxies (counterclockwise from upper left) are NGC 5900, NGC 5899, NGC 5893, and MCG +07-31-041. Next to NGC 5893 toward bottom left are two smaller galaxies NGC 5895 and NGC 5896. Galaxies NGC 5900 / NGC 5899 are a pair at about 122 million light years distant (by redshift estimate) and NGC 5893 / NGC 5895 are a pair at about 249 million light years distant (by redshift estimate). The bright star in the middle of the image is HD 135530 and is at a distance of 1,026 light years distant (by parallax estimate). There are numerous background galaxies - several notable have PGC catalog ID's. The Galaxy Group (SDSSCGB 11381) is visible in the lower right and is about 1,608 million light years distant (by redshift estimate). The furthest objects are the Quasars - those visible in this image are from 1.29 to 11.93 billion years (Lookback). These objects, information, background galaxies and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
