Description

Arp 145 - UGC 1840 - Ring galaxy system

The donut image is real, it is not an artifact produced by the nearby bright star!

"Ring galaxy system...which are created when one galaxy passes through

the disk of another...The interaction would produce a wave effect that would

first draw matter into the center and then cause it to propagate outward in a ring."

(From Wikipedia, Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (a catalog of peculiar galaxies produced by Halton Arp))
