2020年6月30日 · The edge-on galaxy NGC 5981 (top), the elliptical galaxy NGC 5982 (middle) and the spiral galaxy NGC 5985 (bottom) form a distinct trio. It is not clear if or when these galaxies might merge with each other. But there is already evidence that NGC 5982 has already merged with one or more smaller galaxies in the recent past.

2024年4月30日 · NGC 5985, 5982, and 5981--the Draco Triplet. Of the three main galaxies in the group, the central elliptical galaxy, NGC 5982, may be the most interesting one in some respects. It contains a kinematically decoupled nucleus--that is, a core that rotates perpendicular to the rotation in the rest of the galaxy.

NGC 5982 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is located at a distance of circa 130 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 5982 is about 100,000 light years across.
