Here, the galaxy NGC 1097 is pictured in the Southern sky. This galaxy lies around 45 million miles away from the constellation Fornax, which was presumably discovered by French astronomer Nicolas Lacaille, whom I recently posted a biography about. Thia galaxy also has a smaller galaxy very close to it. NGC 1097 is a Seyfert galaxy, one of two of the largest galaxy groups in the Universe. At the center of the galaxy lies a supermassive black hole, consuming everything in its immediate path.
