Description: This visualization, which uses scientific data, begins by illustrating the location of the Hickson Compact Group 40 in the constellation Hydra. It then zooms into a lonely patch of sky inhabited by the close-knit group’s five galaxies. Finally, it shows a fly-through of this eclectic bunch — which includes three spiral-shaped galaxies, an elliptical galaxy and a lenticular (lens-like) galaxy — and how they are situated in relation to each other.
