See it on NASA's siteThe NGC 7771 Group is a collection of galaxies almost 200 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The largest galaxy, NGC 7771, is a barred spiral about 75,000 light-years across. These galaxies are currently making close passages, and over hundreds of millions of years, they will eventually merge into a single, larger galaxy.
