Spiral galaxies portrayed by DECam
An image composed of data collected by the DECam (Dark Energy Camera) shows a group of spiral galaxies with NGC 1515 in the center. It’s a galaxy considered part of the so-called Dorado Group, a set of galaxies with gravitational bonds that are not numerous enough to be defined as a galaxy cluster. Other spiral galaxies included in the image are at various distances from Earth and the farthest are indistinguishable to the naked eye from Milky Way stars present in that area of the sky.
