Celestial Dance

NGC3227 Arp94 is a spiral galaxy that has an active super massive black hole in its core. It is interacting with a dwarf elliptical galaxy (NGC3226) resulting in the faint loops, arcs, and star streams that shows the path of the cosmic dance.

Dodging the bright nearby star in Leo was a bit of a challenge.

Thanks for taking the time to look,

Kindest Regards,
