NGC 488 in Pisces
NGC 488 is a spiral galaxy seen face on 90 million light years away in Pisces.
The galaxy has a large central bulge and tightly wound spiral arms in a near perfect structure. The arms contain multiple star forming regions.
This was a total supersize look at all that detail and extended dust.
