COSMIC MESSAGE
Hickson Compact Group 40 is a collection of five galaxies about 300 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. They are caught in a gravitational dance, pulling at each other and distorting their shapes. Eventually, they will likely merge into a single, larger galaxy. This image captures a moment in their long, slow collision.
