Stephan's Quintet is a group of five galaxies located in the constellation Pegasus, discovered in 1877 by Édouard Stephan. Four of the galaxies are interacting, showing evidence of collisions and mergers, while the fifth is closer to Earth and only appears to be part of the group. This compact galaxy group is notable for its chaotic structure, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of galactic interactions. It's a popular target for telescopic observations, including from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes.
