The Twisted Disk of NGC 4753
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
NGC 4753 is a twisted disk galaxy with unusual dark dust filaments. Scientists believe a normal disk galaxy gravitationally tore apart a dusty satellite galaxy. The satellite's debris then precessed, distorting its plane as it rotated. This cosmic collision likely began about a billion years ago.
