Description

NGC 134 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It has a bright core, thick dust lanes, and well-defined spiral arms, making it very similar to our Milky Way, although it’s a bit larger. Our view is just about edge-on and it’s 60 million light years away. There is an extension to the left, giving an indication that at some point it had a gravitational interaction with another galaxy or galaxies.
