Summary
| Description |
A disk galaxy, I want to say lenticular, but SIMBAD notes it as a spiral? Well, sometimes it is hard to tell. The important part of this galaxy is its magnificent bowtie. The stars in this galaxy's X-shaped nucleus are not orbiting in simple ellipses, but rather in a looping, figure eight path. This is something I need to learn more about before I say much more. This galaxy was imaged as part of the Zoo Gems project. Gems of the Galaxy Zoos All Channels: ACS/WFC F606W North is 93.80° counter-clockwise from up. |
