The NGC 6046 group is a collection of galaxies located in the constellation of Hydra. This group includes several notable galaxies, with NGC 6046 being the most prominent. The galaxies in this group are relatively close to each other in space, making them an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy interactions and evolution. The NGC 6046 group is part of a larger structure known as the Laniakea Supercluster, which contains thousands of galaxies. Observations of this group help scientists understand the dynamics of galaxy clusters and the gravitational forces that influence their formation and behavior over time.
