“NGC 1566: The Spanish Dancer Spiral Galaxy” is copyrighted by Mark Hanson. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 1566, also known as the Spanish Dancer galaxy, is a spiral galaxy about 60 million light-years away in the southern constellation Dorado. We see it face-on from our Milky Way perspective. Its two graceful spiral arms, spanning over 100,000 light-years, are traced by bright blue star clusters, pinkish star-forming regions, and swirling cosmic dust. Its flaring center makes it one of the closest and brightest Seyfert galaxies.
