“Three Galaxies in Draco” is copyrighted by David Vernet, Jean-François Bax, Serge Brunier. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis trio of galaxies, sometimes called the Draco Group, is in the northern constellation Draco, the Dragon. From left to right, we see the face-on spiral NGC 5985, the elliptical galaxy NGC 5982, and the edge-on spiral NGC 5981. All three are visible in a single telescopic field of view, spanning slightly more than the width of the full moon. While not a compact group, these three galaxies are physically close.
