This Hubble image shows Hickson Compact Group 31, a group of four galaxies located some 166 million light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus. The bright, distorted object is actually two colliding dwarf galaxies. The bluish star clusters have formed in the streamers of debris pulled from the galaxies and at the site of their head-on collision. The cigar-shaped object to the right is another member of the group. A bridge of star clusters connects the trio. A longer rope of bright star clusters points to the fourth member of the group. The bright object in the center is a foreground star. Image credit: NASA / ESA / J. Charlton, Pennsylvania State University / G.
