NGC 3190 – Hickson Group

This interacting group consists of 4 galaxies – 3 spirals and 1 elliptical, It lies at a distance of 60 million light years away. Note the agitated state of the main galaxy (red emission activity along its edge) as the distance closes between it, and the “lawn sprinkler” shaped galaxy below it.
