Description

The NGC 5416 group of galaxies is locatad in the constellation Boötes.

Near NGC 5431 there is a tail which looks like a tidal tail, but I didn't find any information about this phenomenon. It is totally ignored, not mentioned at all.

There are also to seen a few distant Quasars. The age of the most distant Quasar in this image is 11,743 Giga years

The gif shows PMSs (proper motion stars),I have marked 9 PM stars, but the image contains way more.The elapsed time between the two images is 66 years.

The b&w image is a DSS1 plate from 1954
