The Black Eye Galaxy, M6419 viewsLast of my spring images - the observatory is currently shut for 3 months during the summer light nights.
A collision of two galaxies has created this unusual galaxy with a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus, giving rise to its popular name of the "Black Eye" galaxy. A famous HST image reveals the dark band in all its glory but we get a hint of its turbulent motion here. DR
