Arp 286 (KTG 54) is a pretty group of three gravitationally bound galaxies that lies in Virgo about 90 million light years away. The largest of the three, the barred spiral galaxy NGC5566, is the largest galaxy in Virgo, at 150,000 light years across. To its upper left is small NGC5569. The reverse-S-shaped galaxy is NGC5560, whose arms are thought to be distorted by its interaction with NGC5566.
