APOD 3.4


The image above exhibits spiral galaxy NGC 2683, a galaxy thought to be similar to our own Milky Way due to its, probable, shared trait of having a bar across the center. Part of the constellation Lynx, commonly known as the Cat, this photo pictures the galaxy as an edge-on view where it is easy to see the visible dust and space clutter which spirals around the outer barriers of its stellar pull.
