Description

NGC 1097 is a barred spiral galaxy about 45 million light years away in the constellation Fornax. It is a severely interacting galaxy with obvious tidal debris and distortions caused by interaction with the companion galaxy NGC 1097A (shown). Three supernovae (SN 1992bd, SN 1999eu, and SN 2003B) have been observed (not shown) in NGC 1097 since 1992.
