NASA's Hubble Looks at a Members-only Galaxy Club - This new Hubble image shows galaxies in the constellation of Eridanus (The River). NGC 1190 stands apart from the rest; it belongs to an exclusive club known as Hickson Compact Group 22 (HCG 22). 

Hickson Compact Groups are incredibly tightly bound groups of galaxies. Their discoverer Paul Hickson observed only 100 of these objects, which he described in his HCG catalog in the 1980s. To earn the Hickson Compact Group label, there must be at least four members — each one fairly bright and compact. These short-lived groups are thought to end their lives as giant elliptical galaxies, but despite knowing much about their form and destiny, the role of compact galaxy groups in galactic formation and evolution is still unclear.

These groups are interesting partly for their self-destructive tendencies. The group members interact, circling and pulling at one another until they eventually merge together, signaling the death of the group, and the birth of a large galaxy.

Nick Campion, from The Ultimate Astrologer: Astrology is the word of the stars - from the Greek astra (star) and logos (word). It is the study by which we read significance for our lives into the movements of the stars and planets
