You should google up a high resolution image of NGC 253. It bubbles like a pizza fresh from the oven.
Looks like there is a bunch of Apods on NGC 253. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010607.html http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap981209.html http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap030525.html I see what you mean - those dark lanes rising out of NGC 253's plane in the inner arm segments. NGC 253 is in starburst phase, unlike NGC 2841 whose core is inactive and more "normal" like the Milky Way. I'll have to mark my calendar to give NGC 253 it a closer look see with the bigger aperatures at SPOC - when it swings around in the autumn. Thanks for the head's up. - Canopus56 (Kurt) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
