Close-up View of Galaxies in Dorado Group | Euclid Space Telescope

This image from the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope is a higher resolution, close-up cutout from a larger frame of the Dorado Group, and shows two of the group’s constituent dwarf galaxies (visible to the upper left in the wider frame). The Dorado Group lies 62 million light-years away in the constellation of Dorado.

Image Description: An elongated bright cloudy ellipse, tilted at a 45-degree angle in front a black background dotted with small white stars and galaxies. Above the ellipse floats a smaller, cloudy ellipsoid.
