bar or edge-on?

  bar or edge-on? not sure but the image looks different in each release.

  Maybe a bar creating a ring? #ringed_galaxy

  There must be a PhD in it for someone. 😃

  I'd say it's almost face-on, so a thin bar with no obvious arms at the ends, and yes, a ringed galaxy. The colors of the bar are strange, though, even allowing for what seem to be some color artifacts.

  Fun object! 😃
