NGC 2997 in Antlia
is an unbarred galaxy, approximately 40,000,000 light-years from Earth. Its relatively tiny, yet bright nucleus exhibits a very interesting structure. Otherwise, 2997 is a lovely, though unremarkable face-on, Sc-type spiral. This data is from the SSRO archive, with masters assembled by Dr. Steve Mazlin.
