In the original catalog, it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Infall and attraction. The three galaxies in this triplett are gravitationally interacting. NGC 5566 is at center, NGC 5569 at bottom left, and NGC 5560 at top left.

A grainy, black and white image of three spiral galaxies. The largest is at the center of the frame. The disk of the galaxy is tilted, so that it appears oval-shaped, with the long axis running diagonally from upper right to lower left. It has a bright center, surrounded by a ring structure. Emerging from the ring are two spiral arms, defined by faint dust lanes. The arms trace the outline of the oval. A faint haze of stars fills in the interior of the oval. At the bottom left is a much smaller face-on spiral galaxy. Unlike the other two galaxies in the group, this galaxy does not appear distorted. It has a small core, surrounded by a faint disk. At upper left is a distorted spiral galaxy seen nearly edge-on. Its disk is warped, forming a thin, nearly vertical, backward S-shape.
