Description

Ngc 5907 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Draco. It is situated approximately 55 Mly distant and is about 130 000 light years in diameter. The galaxy has a slightly warped disk due to previous interactions with another galaxy. This interaction also left tidal streams surrounding ngc 5907. One of these streams is barely visible in the luminance data if an extreme stretch is applied. I decided not to include this in the image.
