Three Lions in the Cosmic Zoo

This beautiful photo was taken with a new telescope called the VST. It shows three galaxies that are known as the Leo Triplet. Large telescopes can normally study only one of these galaxies at a time. But the VST can get all three members of the group in a single picture!
