Maybe it is Messier 77....because there are 76 LESS MESSIER objects!
![Laughing :lol2:](./images/smilies/asterisk_laugh.gif)
Or...Hmmmm....76...MORE MESSIER objects!!!
Wonderful picture from Hubble data, would LOVE to see a Hubble view of the whole thing.
Does anyone see the bearded face to OUR right of the core? Eyes, red nose, beard?
Lots of "spurs" like our neck of the woods. The Orion Spur...
If one were to look at this picture only...and then figure out the mass, and motions, speeds, etc...a person would end up with some wrong conclusions about this galaxy...as there is a whole bunch of missing data in this image, mainly the rest of the galaxy outside this close up shot. One might actually have to insert an unseen method to explain such conclusions...
"Mr. DeMille, I am ready for my close up!"
Are those BRIGHT spots around the red star forming regions 3 o'clock, and 8 o'clock star clusters? Globular Clusters? are they IN M77???
