Description | This is a tiny cluster of 3 galaxies: NGC 4933 A/B/C. B is the tail galaxy which appears to be a small elliptical galaxy viewed edge-on. A is the middle galaxy, and c is the dim little nub just west of the other 2. The two brighter galaxies are Magnitude 13, and clearly interacting. C is magnitude 18.5 and does not seem to be interacting with the others. Given it's small size, it's likely to be much futher away. |
