Beginning of rotational behavior

  • MBison by MBison

    dust clouds, in the outer regions with presumely lower density, starting forming spiral.

    Maybe some big inner mass collapsed recently and therefor we see the rotation beginning also?

    Hi MBison and welcome to the Zoo,

    Sorry, I don't see any dustlanes in this image. But you are correct in assuling this is a fuzzy two-armed spiral . The blue clumps are active star forming regions in the galaxy.

    Happy hunting !
