Hubble Observatory Photographs Luminous Pair of Galaxies and Stars

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of NGC 3783, a bright barred spiral galaxy located approximately 130 million light-years away from Earth. This galaxy is the namesake of the NGC 3783 galaxy group, which is a collection of gravitationally bound galaxies. Unlike galaxy clusters, which can consist of hundreds or even thousands of galaxies, galaxy groups are smaller and less massive. While our Milky Way galaxy is part of the Local Group, along with two other large galaxies (Andromeda and Triangulum) as well as dozens of satellite and dwarf galaxies, the NGC 3783 galaxy group itself contains 47 galaxies and appears to be in an early stage of its evolution. By examining this fascinating subject further, scientists can gain valuable insights into the formation and development of galaxies within these smaller cosmic structures.
