Hi all,

A new image has been uploaded. This time a beautiful galaxy, NGC 3521, the Bubble Galaxy. This is a galaxy with two characteristics: it is “flocculent” meaning that its contains huge amounts of dust distributed in a specific way and also that it has shells (star streams around it) that are the remains of older encounters and mergers with other, most probably smaller) galaxies. You will find it at:

NGC 3521, the Bubble Galaxy

Enjoy!
