Wide-field view of Spiral Galaxy NGC 1055 in Cetus
This image from a ground-based telescope shows the region surrounding NGC 1055, seen side-on, in the lower right-hand corner. Can you spot it? The spiral galaxy at the center of this picture is NGC 1073 in the Cetus constellation.
Several other galaxies are also visible here, such as Messier 77 located nearly at the bottom of the frame.
The Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) is a ground-based imaging survey of the entire sky in several colors of light produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) through its Guide Star Survey group.
