Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Things have been rough for this galaxy. There are stellar streams strewn all about, the dust disk is warped all over the place, and there's hardly any star formation going on. That's what makes it so cool, though. I love the way the dust disk is pushed and pulled around, but still maintains semblance to a disk.
Edit: Some Galaxy Zoo people and Phil Plait are shooting holes in my idea that it's anything but a galaxy. Apparently there ARE galaxies that look exactly like this, such as NGC 2665. I'm just gonna redact that whole paragraph for now. Color from SDSS again.
