Concentric Discs Surrounding An Edge On Spiral

• by m57ring

  There appears to be 2 concentric discs surrounding an edge on spiral. Also there is a brighter arc emanating from the left end of the "edge on spiral," and extending clockwise.

  Well, hard to tell sometimes. The is a face-on barred spiral, not an edge on spiral. . The big thing in the middle is a bar, and it has spiral arms attached.
