NGC 6902

NGC 6902 is a spiral galaxy in the Sagittarius constellation, around 124 million light years from earth.

 

Even though this galaxy is rarely imaged (and hence we don’t know too much about it), it looks like your typical spiral galaxy at first glance. The galaxy has a bright and active core region with spiral arms extending outwards until they gradually dissolve into filaments and blend into the surrounding space.
