Drawing with Pencils: "Dark Ligature Galaxy" NGC 7814 This ultra thin view features the maiestic lenticular galaxy NGC 7814. This burnt-out relict lies some ~500 million light years in the constellation Pegasus. Sharp dust lanes -, which tear around its star rich and old core - tell a violent past since they were created in supernovae events and in the upper atmospheres of dyig stars.
