Polar Ring Galaxy NGC 660
NGC 660 is a polar ring galaxy, a rare type where a substantial population of stars, gas, and dust orbits in a ring nearly perpendicular to the main disk. Located over 20 million light-years away in Pisces, its peculiar appearance is captured in this composite image from the Gemini North telescope. The galaxy's unique structure suggests a past interaction with another galaxy.
