This wide-field view shows the sky around the galaxy NGC 5291. This system has interacted with other galaxies and is surrounded with debris from earlier encounters. Some of this material is now forming dwarf galaxies rich in young stars. This picture was created from images forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. Many other galaxies are also visible.
