NGC 1232 -- grand spiral galaxy



From Astronomy Picture of the Day where you can read all about it.

Stop by this post and see evidence for dark matter
while you are at it.

Don't forget that by clicking on these APoD pictures, you (usually) get access to a bigger and more colorful version than appears here. The picture above is huge in its original form. With a big enough screen, or your projector, you could cover a wall.
