Trio NGC7582, NGC7590 & NGC7599 from the Grus Quartet
Trio NGC7582, NGC7590 & NGC7599 from the Grus Quartet
Located in the Grus Constellation, these 3 spiral galaxies are members of the Grus-quartet. The 4th member of this group is NGC7552, which is not inside this field of view.
The high starburst activity of NGC 7552 and NGC 7582 is thought to be a result from an interactions between these members. The distance to the galaxies is estimated to be between 55 and 70 millions light-years.
At the top the galaxy cluster Abell 1111 is dominated by two giant elliptical galaxies : PGC 71042 and PGC 71043.
