Draco trio: NGC 5981, NGC 5982 & NGC 5985
From left to right are face-on class SBb spiral galaxy NGC 5985, the elliptical galaxy NGC 5982 and the edge-on class SB spiral galaxy NGC 5981. These galaxies are roughly 125 million light-years away. The faint, sharp-edged shells surrounding elliptical NGC 5982 suggests evidence of past galactic mergers. Numerous other more distant galaxies are visible throughout the field.
