Located about 200 million light years from earth,
this cluster of galaxies is found in the
constellation Centaurus. Perhaps the most
interesting part of this cluster, in the lower
portion of the image, are two galaxies which
are interacting with each other, and scattering
a stream of material in a trail 100,000 light
years long.
