NGC1421 – Chile

NGC1421 is a curiously disturbed galaxy in Eridanus. It seems to have had an interaction with another galaxy. This has produced its unusual shape. It is depressed in the middle, and its bright core has been moved to the left of center.

No evidence of an intruder captured in this field.
