This image shows two member galaxies, PGC 36733 (left) and PGC 36723 (right), in the Wild’s Triplet. The galaxies are a mix of pale blue and yellow in color, crossed by strands of dark red dust. A long, faint streak of pale blue joins them, extending from an arm of one galaxy and crossing the field diagonally. A small spiral galaxy, orange in color, is visible edge-on, left of PGC 36723.
