Finally, an edge-on galaxy with a boxy central bulge

  • sharadpednekar by sharadpednekar

    I had always thought that the option --is the central bulge boxy?--in choices for an edge-on galaxy in the classification process in galaxy-zoo was someone's imagination's figment. But finally, here's one, with a central dust-lane besides. My second one in at least a thousand I must have looked at. The first one was an elliptical, without a dust-lane. I hope this one is not some artifact, which I thought the first one might have been. What is the experience of others?
