Description
The Pisces Trio, located in the constellation Pisces, includes NGC 467, NGC 470, and NGC 474.
NGC 474 is located slightly left of center in the image, about 100 million light-years away. This large galaxy is known for having tidal shells and tidal tails. NGC 470, positioned to the right of NGC 474, is a spiral galaxy about 91 million light-years away and has a weak interaction with NGC 474. NGC 467 is located in the lower right corner of the image, an unbarred lenticular galaxy with tidal shell structures, about 240 million light-years away. Only a few galaxies have tidal shell structures, and it is rare to see two such shell galaxies close together in the same field of view.
