{"product_id":"stephan-s-quintet-hickson-compact-group-92-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Stephan’s Quintet (Hickson Compact Group 92) – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eStephan’s Quintet—catalogued as Hickson Compact Group 92—fills this Hubble Space Telescope view with a striking assembly of galaxies against the blackness of Pegasus. Bright orange centres anchor the composition, while cooler blue, pink and white details gather around them in knots, bands and diffuse outer light. The result is both spacious and intensely concentrated: immense dark intervals separate forms that appear richly textured at their edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe group lies approximately 300 million light years from Earth. That distance lends particular force to the image’s fine detail. Compact points of light, softly glowing haloes and slender shadowed lanes remain distinct, even as the galaxies occupy only isolated portions of the broad, dark field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than forming a neat arrangement, the principal galaxies are distributed unevenly across the frame. Their varied brightness and apparent scale create a strong impression of depth: some emerge as sharply luminous structures, while others recede into quieter, more diffuse light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper right, a galaxy curls around an intense orange centre. Its outer glow softens into a broad halo, touched with red and interrupted by small, concentrated points of light. Across the frame to the upper left, cooler colour takes over: blue light is broken into intricate patches, with pink and white knots embedded among darker regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLower in the composition, a larger form spreads out from a brilliant core into smooth orange and beige bands. Along one edge, a dark lane cuts firmly across the surrounding glow, giving the galaxy an almost layered appearance. Bright and shadowed areas intermingle farther out, so that its boundaries seem to dissolve gradually into space rather than end abruptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black field is not empty. Fine pinpoints appear throughout, with some barely visible until the darker portions of the image are examined closely. Near the lower edge, a faint streak subtly crosses the background. These restrained details temper the brilliance of the main galaxies and give the expansive negative space its own visual texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hickson Compact Group 92, Stephan’s Quintet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galaxy grouping \/ cluster\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pegasus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 million light years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 September 2009, 17:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASA, ESA and the Hubble SM4 ERO Team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right size and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine art can feel intimate at smaller sizes and more architectural at larger ones.
