Description | The target emerged relatively quickly. Consider compass bearings through the galaxy, with north pointing up and to the left through the long axis of the galaxy. The central bulge is elongated along the N-S axis, and appears slightly bent on the z axis, with ends below the central plane of the disk. The southern hemisphere disk appears thick and intact. The northern hemisphere appears to have been disrupted. The disk is largely missing from W to NW, as is a smaller section from NNE to NE. Irregular indeed. |
