See it on NASA's siteHickson Compact Group 91 is a collection of galaxies in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. Three spiral galaxies are locked in a gravitational tug of war, pulling out long tidal tails of stars and gas. These interactions stretch over 100,000 light-years. Paul Hickson identified about 100 such compact groups while scanning the skies.
