NGC 3393: A Super Spiral?
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
NGC 3393 is a Seyfert type 2 spiral galaxy. The 'S' you see is a lane of stars, gas, and dust circling its core. Its bright core makes it a Seyfert, and the infrared glow from central dust helps classify it as 'type 2'. Seyfert galaxies have extremely energetic nuclei, similar to more powerful quasars.
