Spiral, Ring, or Both?

• by KyleCourtois

  I see a double ring pattern, but i see that others are tagging this as a spiral. Can someone explain?

  Yes, I would just tag it as ringed myself.

  This just means that this is a two-armed spiral (with an inner ring) where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring = a ringed galaxy.

  Happy hunting ! 😄
