X-Rays From HCG 62

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Hickson Compact Groups are small collections of galaxies, much smaller than immense galaxy clusters. HCG 62 is one such group, emitting hot X-rays from gas between its member galaxies. These groups may be the building blocks for larger galaxy clusters, showing how galaxies interact and merge over cosmic time. X-ray observations help us understand these interactions.
