Galaxy withou a core?

  • Erikoli by Erikoli

    This image made me raise some questions:
    Well I nor even knew this kind of galaxy is possible, if the galaxy don't have a core what keep it together?
    Would this be instead of a galaxy a gas cloud that would eventually colapse and become the core of a galaxy or a star?

    Hi Erikoli,

    First of all you have to take into account the 'fuzziness' of the image

    This is just a very fuzzy image of a galaxy. If we had a better image maybe we could even see a spiral, who knows.

    Anyway, just classify what you see and happy hunting !
