“Polar Ring Galaxy NGC 2685” is copyrighted by Ken Crawford. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 2685 is a rare polar ring galaxy, with stars, gas, and dust orbiting in rings perpendicular to its flat galactic disk. This unusual configuration might be due to a disk galaxy capturing material from another galaxy, which then stretched into a rotating ring. Observations suggest that the rotating ring structure in NGC 2685 is remarkably old and stable.
