no buldge yet spiral

  • Admino by Admino

    Hi,

    I have a question about this:
    One would expect something active in the middle create by a black hole maybe, so that it shines compared to the rest.
    If it doesn't, like here, what does that mean? Has the galaxy been disrupted / disturbed and lost its centre?
    thanks

    Some galaxies have smaller bulges. The correlation between size of black hole and size of bulge is being investigated, with the help of people in Galaxy Zoo.
