Figure 8 spiral I Don't Understand

  • bretspath by bretspath

    The Galaxy has to rings of clouds which i would usaualy call spirals but here i cant call them that so these rings of clouds meet up in the center of the galaxy where the black whole is and it isnt the lens because the rings a re each slight diffrent than each other. i dont know if its a merger but now that i look at it closely it is two spirals but then at a certain point they stop and start going back to the center of the galaxy and the contents of the spiral sdispers while going back to the center of the galaxy.

    This is a 3D object, the arm is probably going behind the galaxy, not into it.

    similar question in Can anyone explain why the two spirals are coming back in to the center of the galaxy?http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000005/discussions/DGZ0001foa?page=1&comment_id=5556e465b6021d660600019d
