M59

M59

Right next to M58 is M59, an enormous elliptical galaxy. It’s around 60 million light-years away, according to NASA, and its inner core rotates the opposite direction as the rest of the object. Astronomer Johann Gottfried Koehler first spotted it in 1779. It’s also proof that, well, not every galaxy is cool looking.
