    I miss the "galaxy itself" ^^ Probably a new galaxy forming from this star cluster?

    But i find this very pretty anyway...

    Yeah, I've seen on first sight it must be close. Wonder nobody commented this before, it's such a nice detailed object 😃

    In 1.000.000 years it will be a new small spiral galaxy perhaps. Welcome our new neighbours!

    It is a field galaxy so without neighbours to transfer the 'Conservation of angular Momentum' I think this would need a monster black hole to get it spinning
