NGC5850
About this celestial object
A striking barred spiral with a calm core and delicate dust arcs.
NGC 5850 is a barred spiral: a strong central bar channels gas toward the core and fosters ring-like structures, typical of this galaxy type.
Gently wound arms and fine dust lanes emerge clearly in the deep field; the surroundings often sparkle with fainter field galaxies.
A balanced tonal range reins in the bright core and reveals low-brightness outskirts.
