NGC 1097

This beautiful galaxy known as NGC 1097 has some pretty cool features. If you look closely you can see 3 jets appearing to emanate from the galaxy. These jets are believed to be the remnants of a dwarf galaxy interaction.

 

Located about 45 million light-years away from Earth, NGC 1097 also has beautiful core structure. On top of that, there is a supermassive blackhole at the center of the galaxy.
