NGC 4388 in the center - unprocessed image. This galaxy and the surrounding galaxies form part of the Markarian's Chain, which is a centerpiece of the Virgo Cluster. Because these galaxies are physically close to one another, they offer a rare chance to see how gravity shapes the universe through mergers and tidal interactions.
