smooth or edge on spiral

  • 22bmeup by 22bmeup

    Although the major attitude of this galaxy's appearance is smooth, it also seems very plausible that it is an edge-on picture of a spiral shape. Even looks like a cluster in the middle.

    I choose smooth as the classification. Would you?

    If it is thin, it is classified as having features. It is an edge-on. The ends are too pointy to be an elliptical.
