Three Galaxies in Draco

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Three galaxies are visible in this single telescopic field of view in the constellation Draco. From left to right, we see a face-on spiral galaxy, an elliptical galaxy, and an edge-on spiral. These galaxies, NGC 5985, NGC 5982, and NGC 5981, are gravitationally bound, even though they are not a large cluster.
