COSMIC MESSAGE

This is a polar ring galaxy, NGC 4650A. It is a rare type of galaxy where a ring of gas, dust, and stars orbits perpendicular to the main galactic disk. The main body of NGC 4650A is a lenticular galaxy, a type between a spiral and an elliptical. The polar ring is thought to be the remnant of a smaller galaxy that was torn apart by NGC 4650A's gravity.
