Description

This is NGC1532 or Haley's Coronet Galaxy located 61 million light years away and is twice the diameter of our galaxy (i.e., 210,000 light years across - that one, not ours). There are several other much smaller galaxies in the vicinity and one (NGC 1531) is altering the shape of the larger galaxy due to gravitational interaction.
