This cosmic group looks like it contains five galaxies, earning it the nickname 'Stephan's Quintet'. About 300 million light-years away, only four of these five galaxies actually interact; the odd man out is easy to spot. The four interacting galaxies have an overall yellowish cast. They also tend to have distorted loops and tails, grown under the influence of disruptive gravitational tides. But the predominantly bluish galaxy is closer, just 40 million light-years distant, and isn't part of the group.
