Seyfert's Sextet
Observed in 2000
At first, Seyfert's Sextet looks like six galaxies grouped closely together. However, the small galaxy with the prominent spiral arms (right of center) is much farther away than the others, and a bright clump to the lower right is material torn from one of the other galaxies.
