Показать описание
This image from Hubble captures the lenticular galaxy NGC 1947, located around 40 million light-years away from us. Almost all of its gas and dust has been stripped away. Only faint traces of its former spiral arms can be seen as thin, dark threads around its center. The galaxy now lacks star-forming material, making any new star formation unlikely...

Music: Jupiter by Gustav Holst

It looks like it's halfway to becoming an elliptical galaxy
