A new visualization explores the galaxy group Stephan’s Quintet by using observations in visible, infrared, and X-ray light.

But theoretical models 9, 10 based on these observations have been unable to agree on how Stephan’s Quintet formed, even though it is one of the most well-studied galaxy groups.

Analysis of Stephan’s Quintet, a vivid set of galaxies in the distant universe, by two telescopes has revealed details of how the galaxies (and the hydrogen gas within them) interact. One of the ...

Subaru Telescope has added another dimension of information about one of the most studied of all compact galaxy groups—Stephan's Quintet. Located within the borders of the constellation Pegasus ...

Stephan’s Quintet, as its name implies, is a group of five galaxies (NGC7317, 7318A, 7318B, 7319 and 7320) and lies about 270 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus (North-west ...

Stephan's Quintet is a fantastic "laboratory" for studying these processes fundamental to all galaxies. Track Latest News Live on NDTV.com and get news updates from India and around the world ...

Stephan’s Quintet, one of the first science targets of the James Webb Space Telescope, sits just 0.5° southwest of NGC 7331, making it one of the easiest tight groups to find.

Stephan's quintet. Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI Galaxies' interactions are a hotbed of star formation, an ideal target for an infrared telescope.

What’s New — In Stephan’s Quintet (which you might recognize from JWST’s first full-color images released last summer), five galaxies are in the process of smashing into each other, and ...

Space telescope imagery of R Aquarii, Stephan's Quintet and Messier 104 have been sonified in a collaboration between NASA ...

Thus, Stephan’s Quintet became the paradigm for the mysterious, and for cosmological insecurity. Many astronomers insisted the streams of material between NGC 7320 and the other galaxies proved ...

I learn a lot writing the show, but I sometimes learn something finding these graphics, too. The image above shows a famous compact group of galaxies called Stephan’s Quintet.
