OriginalStephan's Quintet, a group of four galaxies. The upper left NGC 7320 is seven times closer to earth and NGC 7319, at top right, is a barred spiral with distinct spiral arms that follow nearly 180 degrees back to the bar. NGC 7317, at bottom left, is a normal-looking elliptical galaxy and the next galaxy appears to have two cores, but it is actually two galaxies, NGC 7318A and NGC 7318B.
