Description

NGC 1961 is a distant 200 million ly away from us spiral galaxy. It is the largest in our "nearest" vicinity - around 200 000 ly in diameter. Though it'a spiral galaxy, it has distinctly distorted arms.

If I'm not highly mistaken in my research, the point of the arrow shows IXO 29 - a quasar.
