Hickson Compact Group 92 aka Stephan's Quintet.

A group of five absolutely stunning galaxies. It has since been discovered though that the whiter "bluer" one is actually a foreground galaxy and is superimposed on the more distant true group of four galaxies.

The slightly distorted shapes of the two closest yellow galaxies are due to their more complex gravitational interactions.
