Description

Galaxy HER20-5, a.k.a NGC247 is a dwarf spiral galaxy ~11 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Cetus (The Sea Monster). While this dwarf galaxy isn't one of the more photogenic galaxies it is remarkable due to the absence of stars and material on one side of the galaxy. http://owlmountainobservatory.com https://www.facebook.com/OwlMountainObservatory
