Description

The galaxy NGC55 in the constellation Sculptor. A great example of an edge-on spiral galaxy and one of the brighter members of the Sculptor group of galaxies. Unfortunately, the edge-on nature of the galaxy means we can't see all the beautiful structures like you can with a face-on spiral galaxy. Though it still makes for a decent image!
