This NGC 5846 group of galaxies is located in eastern part of the Virgo constellation (near M5) some 90 million light years from Earth.
In the center of the group resides a giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5846. Second large galaxy NGC 5850 is a nice (and photogenic) face-on barred spiral galaxy. On the right we can see the smaller elliptical NGC 5845 and brighter NGC 5839.
