The Secret Spiral Of IC3328
IC3328 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster, about 50 million light-years away. Astronomers used the European Southern Observatory's Antu telescope to make a surprising discovery here. They found a subtle, symmetrical spiral structure hidden within. This was revealed by numerically modeling the galaxy's smooth light distribution.
