		Four large spiral galaxies, in the constellation Grus, that are physically very close together and strongly interacting (see galaxy interaction).
		The high starburst activity of two of the members, NGC 7552 and NGC 7582, is also thought to arise from tidal galaxy-galaxy interactions and subsequent formation of a bar in the disk.

	Al Nair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		Directly south of Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish, is the modern constellation Grus, the Crane.
		Unlike the bright ancient constellations, the "moderns" were invented between around 1600 and 1800 either to name the figures of the deep southern sky that could not be seen from northern classical lands or to fill in the blanks among the brighter northern groups.
		As a result, the star is frequently used as a background with which to examine the nature of the local clumpy interstellar gas.
