Stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of HCG 90, a Hickson Compact Group of three interacting galaxies. A spiral galaxy is distorted by the gravitational pull of two elliptical galaxies, triggering intense star formation. This galactic interaction, located 100 million light-years away in Piscis Austrinus, will eventually result in a single larger galaxy.
