NGC-1427A, its irregular geometric configuration and proportions have long intrigued me, in spite of its morphological frequency of occurence, which can be estimated to be in the several billions across the cosmos, I continue to maintain a sense of exoticity toward it, which exists comparatively and relatively to other morphologies.

M82 is the correct answer. It has a huge wind, thought to be driven by a burst of star formation.

With the Hubble space telescope it is possible to see 200 billion galaxies. Each galaxy has something like 100 billion stars. So that makes 20 000 billion squared stars altogether.

There was a galaxy pic that I used as profile pic a long time ago. I never found it again because it's hard to explain, it's a somewhat spherical galaxy and... it has stars and... it looks like a galaxy. Watching thread just in case.
