Summary[edit]

Description

A golden egg floats above its pedestal. Here an assumed spiral galaxy has been strangely transformed in a way that makes it difficult to recognize. Its nucleus is now off center—way off center—and its arms are disorganized, forming a kind of irregular ring. The golden egg is an elliptical galaxy which is the major participant in this process.

Turned 90° clockwise I think the composition looks remarkably like a phoenix with its egg.

Some color data is available from the PanSTARRS survey: ps1images.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/ps1cutouts?pos=Apg+141&fi...

Data from the following proposal is used to create this image: Establishing HST's Low Redshift Archive of Interacting Systems
