Disk in the middle

  • Tigchap by Tigchap

    I see a disk with a bulge in it's center, tilted at a 45 degree angle from bottom left to top right. I bring this up because I think I could also quantify this a a smooth rounded galaxy due to the lighting surrounding the disk. So my questions for discussion is this. "Which is more significant? the disk with bulge shape seen in the middle of the galaxy or the general shape of light coming from the galaxy?"

    Hi Tigchap and welcome to the Zoo,

    I also see a disk with a bar and a noticeable bulge. With a bulge and a bar, it hardly qualifies as smooth, don't you think so ? ;D
