Apod 3.2!

This is a spiral galaxy about 45 million light years away. It is called NGC 1097. This galaxy lies in the constellation Fornax. The pinkish color comes from the stars being meshed into this master-piece. A quite crazy fact is that the center of this galaxy harbors a black hole!!! This galaxy also has alot of jet traces, recognized to be in the nucleus  as well, but we have determined they have not originated from there. Perhaps some neighboring stars. Overall i found this galaxy's shape quiet and interesting and found alot of facts i hadn't known before!
