The peculiar galaxy ESO 060-IG26
Far down in the southern sky, on the border betwenn the constellations of Volans and Carina, lies this small group of galaxies. It was first discovered at ESO in 1974. The central galaxy is visibly disturbed and now carries the designation ``ESO 060-IG26''. The less disturbed galaxy of elliptical shape is ``ESO 060-G27''. The distance to the system has not yet been measured, but is probably in excess of 150 million light-years.
