Wild's Triplet
Wild's Triplet is a group of three small, interacting spiral galaxies. The galaxies are visible in the constellation Virgo. The triplet has luminous connecting bridges and is located some 200 million light-years away. The aforementioned bridges are probably formed as a result of gravitational tidal interactions among the galaxies. The triplet is named after the British-born and Australia-based astronomer Paul Wild (1923–2008), who studied the trio in the early 1950s.
