This Hubble mosaic of the galaxy NGC 7319 is a part of the so-called Stephan's Quintet. The image was taken using Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on Dec. 30, 1998 and June 17, 1999.

Located in the constellation Pegasus, 270 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by Edouard M. Stephan in 1877. As the name suggests, the quintet actually contains five galaxies and is the first compact group ever discovered.
